Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query bump in gums after losing baby tooth is very normal as it is hanging mass of tissue which appears when a tooth exfoliates or new tooth erupts out of it. If it is causing any pain and tenderness to your baby get it excised with proper consultation from dentist. Maintain proper oral hygiene of child. rub gums with wet cloth. Try to give soft food t child and to chew from that side. Visit dentist once if it is problematic for child.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
