14 month baby has red swollen gums breath is a little smelly tried to brush teeth and soothe with damp cloth. Wondering is this teething- or is it gingaviteus ? She went on a food eating strike thought it was teething but haven t seen any teeth. Her gums seem swollen/bleeds if you touch her frount teeth. She wouldn t let me brush her teeth for better part of the week. No fevers. Sorry for grahmer and such on my phone one hand.

Hi
This is possibly gingivitis, possibility of Vitamin C deficiency strongly needs to be considered. Isolated Gingivitis without teeth is rare. Vitamin C supplement will be very useful.
