Many parents notice what looks like a small white bump, or even a few, on their baby’s gums or the roof of their mouth and start to panic. Is it an infection? Could it be a tooth coming in already? Should you call the doctor right away?

This guide breaks down the common causes of gum picking, explains when it becomes a problem, and gives you some ways to help your child stop.

In this post, we walk through the major stages of dental development, starting with those first tiny teeth and continuing through the teen years when wisdom teeth appear.
