What Is The Treatment For A Bump On The Gum?

My 11 yr old has a raised purple squishy bump on her gum above the front tooth. It doesn't hurt and she has had it now for 6 months. It won't go away. 2 doctors and one dentist as seen it and baffled. I'm worried. They told us to make an appointment with an oral surgeon. What could it be?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the swelling over the gums could be an abscess because of the tooth infection..nothing to worry consult a oral physician and take radiograph of that tooth region to confirm the daignosis..you can take a course of antibiotics like pnicillin...do saline gargling...i hope my answer will help you...take care..
