Does Gum Tissues Regenerate After It Has Been Separated From Gum Line Accidentally ?
My 18 month old fell and hit his bottom right tooth. It is mildly loose with applied pressure and there is a slice of gum tissue below the tooth that has separated from the gum line and no longer attached to the gum. Will this heal or does he need to see a pediatric dentist, will the gum tissue regenerate?

Hello,
As you are mentioning that your child has fallen down and after that his tooth became loose, it looks like he had a trauma on the root region of tooth and on gums.
It will not heal on its own you have to visit a pedodontist, and get it treated.
As he will give some packs and medication which will help in healing.
Thank you
Regards
