   Ethan is teething at the moment and I wondered.... why does the gum not bleed when the tooth is finally pushed through??
 I have asked a couple of people but noone knows.  Do any of you ladies have any ideas.

   hhm i would like to know that too, although i guess, as we found when ayja damaged her tooth. They have paths that they take upwards. (luckily she hadn't damaged that part so it grew back into place again) i spose, since they are there for such a long long time, the blood vessels etc would grow around them not over maybe, and the gum just gets worn away as the teeth come up.
 am pulling ideas out of my bum here, lol.. anyone feel free to tell me the real reason lolol.

   Magic!!     Sorry ...that wasn't very helpful ...
 Perhaps it's because as they break throught eh skin, they plug the hole they make, therefore keeping the blood where it should be?  Or it could be that they DO bleed a little, but that the saliva washes it all away.
 Anyone else's bum have any bright ideas?       |

   my bum said that maybe its because it is done over such a long period.  i'm sure that if teeth cut by being pushed thru in a matter of seconds it would bleed.

   Yeah I'm sure they blister. Ashlee's looked like they blistered before she popped them through a week later. I agree with gandt's bum LOL!!!    |

   McKayla has had dried blood around the area before. It was a bloodbubble that stayed there for about 2 weeks.

    I think its sweet as, best way to come through. Brae had the no-blood version and the bruised gum version too.
 No blood probably means it gone through a gradual process moving up,that the skin has just accepted it. Just like body piercing, where sometimes your body rejects a piece of jewelery and pushes it out, without blood. Maybe?
