eruption of 6yr. molars

by toothfairy2, Aug 09, 2007 12:00AM

i am wondering if you could tell me if i should be concerned about a 6 year old who has gums that are soft, and bluish in color. I know that this is where her 6yr. molars are coming in at, i have just never saw this before. The girl does not have any pain in the area. Is there a name for this-could i look up more info about this? Any info about this would be heplful. thanks,toothfairy2

It sounds like just what you are saying that this is the eruption site of the first molars. As the teeth erupt the tissue gets thinner and traumatized and that is the cause of the color of the tissue.
