thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the purple bubble on the gums could be a pulp poly or chronic hyperplastic pulpitis secondary to chronic irritation in a decayed tooth. or it can be a pyogenic granuloma. you have to consult a oral physician and get it examined and take a radiograph and tooth has to be treated with root canal treatment along with excision of the polyp. if it is pyogenic granuloma it has to be excised surgically. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
