What Causes Abnormal Teeth Growth From The Gums In Child?

My 10 week old son has what looks like a tooth coming through on the top left side of his gum. Its not in the normal spot where a tooth should be coming through. My sister said it could be a pocket. Should i take him to the dentist? should i worry about this?
