My seven year old daughter has had a loose tooth for over two months.  It is one of her top front teeth.   When I looked in her mouth today, I was alarmed to see a 3-4mm hole in her gum above her loose tooth.  When she wiggles her tooth, I can see what looks like maybe a broken root moving in and then sticking out her gum.  Her grown up tooth has been growing behind the baby tooth for for several months.  She is not in any pain.  Will her gum heal by itself?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query.First let me inform you that the time of loosened tooth to be removed had passed already. The permanent successor has already erupted palatially, this will result in misalignment of front teeth since your milk teeth has not yet removed. The hole has appeared in gums due to resorption of root of milk tooth. Please do visit your dentist and get the milk teeth removed as soon as possible. Make sure that remaining milk teeth are shed at the appropriate time to help in eruption of permanent teeth in proper position. Always maintain good oral hygiene. Take care.
