Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like her labial Frenulum is severed during injury and it is struck between her teeth..

If it is not released it will continuously get irritated and can become painful later on..

So my suggestion is to consult a Dentist or a Pedodontist and get evaluated..

The Frenulum can be released from the teeth after applying Lidocaine gel to avoid pain and if needed it can be stitched back in place..

If it is not torn completely it can be left in its place but should be removed from the teeth..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
