[|Human|] My son was outside playing with a friend and was struck in the gum.  There is a pretty good cut above his front tooth (this is a permanent tooth that is growing in, he is almost 8 years old)  The tooth doesnt seem loose and the bleeding is stopped but the gum is cut pretty badly.  Is it necessary to take him to a dentist immediately or see how it heals?
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. As your history suggests that there is only gum injury then you can avoid going to the dentist. But if you suspect any trauma to the tooth structure, you must keep a close watch on the concerned tooth, as the teeth is still in development stages. If you find any discoloration or associated pain, it is good to visit your dentist and get it evaluated clinically for its vitality. For now, you can just deb ride the wound and leave it to heal on its own. Hope it helps. Take care.
