[|Human|] My daughter who is 11 has just lost her baby tooth ( first one next to the molar tooth). There is something that looks like a piece of flesh on one side of her permanent tooth, which is fully out. First, I thought it might have been a piece of food, tried to gently remove it, but she said it was painful, and I did not want to touch it any more. I phoned my dentist , and he will try to make an appointment for tomorrow. Is this something serious/dangerous, something I should be worried about. It is 15 min. past midnight where I am, but I cannot sleep, I am so worried.Sleepless and concerned mom.
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Need not worry at all. You can ask her to do mild saline rinse before she goes to bed. At this age you can expect erupting, her permanent premolars.these premolars come in position of previous baby molars. Therefore the bulge and piece of flesh could be due to that. There is nothing to worry here at all, but since you have decided to visit your dentist you can do so and get a routine oral checkup done. Hope I have answered your query.thanks.take care.
