How To Treat Flap Of Skin Dangling From Gum In A 6 Years Old Child?

I pulled my 6 year olds front tooth out that was very lose and was just hanging on by a thread. Afterwords there is a stringy looking flap of skin dangling from the gums where the baby tooth was. I am curious what this is. And what, if anything to do about it.
Thanks for your help.
