That is her new adult tooth erupting! The little guy will fall out in the next few days :) The teeth in front of that are all adult teeth in case you are curious. All looks completely normal and age-appropriate to me. Best wishes to you and Harley Moon!

    It looks like Harley Moon is getting some of her adult teeth in, which makes sense based on her age. That tooth looks like a deciduous or "baby" tooth that will likely fall out soon, and it looks like there is an adult/permanent tooth behind it.
