What Causes Painful Loose Tooth In A Child?

Hi, My 9 year old daughter has a very loose tooth. When we went to take it out, she states it s very painful. It looks like a piece of the gum is inside the tooth. Is this normal? Her teeth normally come out very easily but this one has been giving her a hard time and I m worried.

Hi.... this is not normal I suggest that you take her to a dental surgeon.

Please do not attempt to take it out by yourself.
