What Causes Bumps Under Gums?
My 8 year old daughter has a very loose tooth. When she woke up this morning the tooth was twisted and she straightened it out, but now there is a bump on the gum under the tooth that looks like a blood blister. Is this normal, or should she been seen by out dentist? Is there anything I should be doing at home to help?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
If the tooth you are mentioning is the milk tooth, then it is the pre shedding mobility and the tooth may fall out anytime.
The blood clot can be due to the trauma caused to the gums or it can be due to the underlying erupting tooth,
I would advice you to consult a pedodontist and get it reviewed for further need.
If pain you can give the child Panadol.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards .
