Children's teething period, why is the gums red?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Could you please tell me what are the reasons for the redness of the teeth during the teething period?

Doctor's answer:

This consideration is due to the stimulation caused by tooth eruption, and there may also be some gingivitis. However, if there is no obvious bleeding, it is generally not a major issue. Of course, parents should observe whether it is only part of the gums that are red. If the gums in the entire mouth are like this, then it can be considered that it is not inflammation. This is a physiological response of cellular congestion, and it is generally not a major issue.
