[|Human|] My 10 yr old daughter just found a large lump on her top gum above her tooth (2 teeth from front). It doesnt hurt and is a little more red than the rest of her gum. Any ideas? She grinds her teeth at night but since she doesnt have her permanent molars, she cant use a gaurd.
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. The swelling suggests gingival abscess involving the tooth mentioned. It can be either due to poor oral hygiene maintained or any of the tooth mentioned can be decayed. Do make her maintain her oral hygiene well and advice her saline gargling which help in the reduction of the inflamed tissue. I would suggest you visit your local periodontist to have it checked and if the tooth is decayed, get it filled. If needed you can have her teeth cleaned at the dentist office. Hope this was useful to you. Thanks and regards.
