What Is The Fleshy Part Inside The Tooth?
My 7 year old son's 2 upper teeth front teeth have been loose for some time now. One tooth seems ready to come out, he can twist it almost completely around. However, we can see a fleshy part still inside the tooth attached to his gums. Can he pull the tooth out? What is it we are seeing?

Hi sir/madam
Fleshy tissue what you inside technically called as gingival polyp or pulp polyp based on its origin if it is coming form inside the tooth it is a pulp polyp and if it is attached to the gingiva it is gingival polyp.treatment for both is excision which is not an complicated issue.I would request you to consult your dentist.
