 It might still end up poking through in the right spot but if you're super concerned and it's causing her pain despite comfort measures (teethers, cold washcloths, etc) then I'd call the pediatrician.

Teeth are like bones.  There isn't any reason for a bone to grow out the side.  A tooth can grow out the side, however.

Ask the pedi at her next visit.

Its just the part of the tooth that's come thru first ...... the whole tooth doesn't come out all at once. Just keep an eye on it.
