Can an injury to an infant's gum scar/hurt the incoming tooth?
My little girl fell about six months ago and hit her upper gum. Her tooth was just starting to emerge. Now it's discolored and seems as though it's got a little indentation. She doesn't act like it bugs her and we're not in an area where there is much dental care. But the more I think about it I worry. Can an injury to a gum cause tooth damage when they're that little and their teeth are "soft"?

Yes it can. My daughter has a tooth that she must have injured right when it was coming out. It has never bothered her, but the enamel is noticeably chipped and its discolored. Thankfully its just a baby tooth and it'll eventually fall out!
