Reason For Getting White Spots Behind Molars For 2 Year Old

My 2yr old has just about finished getting her 2yr molars. We are waiting on the last tooth on the top to come thru. However it looks like there are white spots appearing behind her bottom molars. Can't tell yet if they are teeth or not. What could this be?

thanks for your query, the white spots could be the underlying tooth which is displaying through the gums or it can be because of the opposing tooth hitting on that area resulting in hyperkeratosis. nothing to worry the tooth will erupt. if any pain or swelling consult a oral physician. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
