What Causes Pus Formation In The Gums Of A Child?

My 8 month old baby has a small amount of white pus on his bottom, left gums (where the canine tooth would be expected to erupt). The lower left canine tooth has not erupted, though he is teething (he has both top canines). What is this white matter/pus?

Thank you

Hi dear, I understand your concern. It is not pus,it is possible during teething, it is connective tissue,because gingiva has rupture s during teething.
