How Can The Gums After A Tooth Extraction Be Healed?

11-year old just finally pulled loose molar. Permanent molar alredy came in off to the side and didn t push the tooth out completely; it has been hanging by the outside for several weeks now. Now there is pulp or something bloody left that won t come out, but the permanent will not be pushing it out or whatever normally happens, since it already came in. Do we need to see a dentist?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

A pulp like tissue that is hanging bit does not come out can be a torn and hanging porting of the gum that left partially attached while the tooth was extracted..

It is less likely to be a blood clot.

But for confirmation, you should consult an Oral Physician or a Paediatric dentist and get evaluated..

If it is a torn gum or blood clot although less likely it can be gently removed using local anaesthesia spray to avoid any pain..

If it is firmly attached in position please avoid removing it at home as it can be traumatised and cause pain..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
