What Makes The Gum Hang And Turn Into Purplish Color After The Crown Was Inserted?
I had a crown 7 months ago and the area on my gum over my crown became purplish color now two months ago I felt a piece of gum hanging but still attached from the top. When I lift the gum a little with my tougne I see its little purple. It's the top jaw the last inside tooth on my left side. What about to my gum and is it something serious? I don't remember cutting my gum with anything. Can you please help

Hello there,
Thanks for your query.
You did not tell about any pain in the related area or related to crown any problem.
It may be normal but i would like to suggest you that maintain good oral hygiene and rinse your mouth properly after each meal,if you feel any pain or any other symptom please visit back to your dentist for thorough examination including x-ray.
For your gum piece you can go to your dentist for its correction.
Nothing to get worried.
Take care.
