What Could A Fleshy String Hanging Along With A Baby Tooth Indicate?
My daughters front baby tooth has just come out tonight but she has a dark red fleshy bit hanging in the baby tooths place. It is fully attached to her gum come and does not look as if it will fall out soon. I have a general appointment with her dentists in one weeks time. However should I see the dentist earlier?
Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM. Actually the fleshy thing which you are mentioning can be the granuloma which might be present below the tooth and now came out after the removal of tooth. There is nothing to worry about it, but still you should visit your dentist earlier as he will clear the socket of the tooth and it will be removed. Hope it will help you.
