Reason For Flappy Skin In Back Of Child's Mouth?
Just curious. My 6 year old complained of feeling flappy skin in the black of her mouth. When I looked it almost looked like a soft tooth! It was in line with her other teeth and as white as a tooth. But when I felt it, it felt like hanging skin. Is this some sort of oral infection? If not, what is it? Thank you in advance.
