I put my baby to bed for the night and went down stairs to see that the bib he had just had on was covered in blood, I went back to he’s room to see where it had came from to realise he had just cut he’s first 2 teeth, he has only just turned 5 months today, my question is... is it normal for the gums to bleed when the teeth pop threw the gum?

Coming from a dental nurse.... yes sometimes that can happen. Just keep an eye on them. Don’t forget that now little one has some teeth it’s good to slowly introduce a baby side toothbrush. Don’t worry about toothpaste, it’s just to get them used to having the brush in their mouth xxx
Hi Emma, thank you for your reply, I have just ordered a 3 stage tooth brush with the first part being a finger toothbrush and was going to get him milk tooth toothpaste as it’s recommended on the nhs website to get a toothpaste containing fluoride and to use a smear of it on a toothbrush xxx
