Dentist,  's  Response
Hello, Welcome to healthcare magic,

I can understand your concern as this small swelling on above upper front tooth can be due to periodontal problem or if tooth is carious due to periodontal infection or due to eruption of permanent front tooth also .

For this you should consult your dentist and go for visual examination and IOPA x ray to evaluate periapical infection or due to eruption of permanent tooth.

In meantime adive her to do warm saline gargle two - three times a day.

Hope this will help you.
