question: My eight year old daughters teeth have suddenly started to bleed during flossing and brushing.  My husband or I have always flossed her teeth (nightly) since she has had them.  At her dentists suggestion we started letting her brush them in the am about 8 months ago.  But we still floss and brush them for her in pm.  Her teeth are very crowded together and has lost her first 6 teeth in the last year (one adult tooth never emerged)  Her gums seem red and it looks like teeth are erupting all over- but it is so sudden. Our dentist said to let them come in at there own pace and keep her regular appt.- Would you suggest we seek a second opinion?  She has not seen her dentist in 5 months and has an appt scheduled in 4 weeks.
