How Can Severe Bleeding In The Gums After Dental Extraction Be Treated?

My son’sbaby tooth fell out. When he removed the tooth, the tooth was hollow and extremely bloody. After all the bleeding stopped, we noticed that a large section of gum/ roots? Was left. There is no hole where the tooth was, just a large red soft tissue there. Should we take him to the dentist ?

Hi.

Thanks for the query

The bloody red tissue can be a blood clot that is formed after the tooth is removed.
It gets gradually transformed into healing tissue.
If there is no pain in any other discomfort then you need not to worry as it was a milk tooth and gradually the permanent tooth will erupt in place according to appropriate milestones
However to be confirmed further you can send me pictures of the site from where the tooth is lost so that I can advise you better
Hope this helps
