Baby's teeth are not good, there is a thick, meat-like thing growing on the front tooth bed.

Patient's question:

Baby's teeth are not good, there's a thick, fleshy growth on the front teeth bed, but it doesn't hurt. When I was young, I had one like this, but inside it was like pus. At that time, it was treated and healed. But now this one isn't movable, like flesh.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, it might be a periodontal abscess, possibly related to this cavity? Can the tooth be white? For children, sometimes only the root of the tooth remains, and it may be an abscess caused by inflammation of the tooth root. Milk teeth can be replaced, but permanent teeth are more stubborn, so it's important to closely monitor the child's dental replacement and growth development. If necessary, you should visit the dental department for an examination. If treatment is indeed required, it's important to proceed with it without interfering with the growth and development of permanent teeth. X-rays can be taken to assess the overall condition, which will be beneficial for further treatment. On a daily basis, try to avoid sweet foods at night, and brush your teeth regularly in the morning and evening. Wishing you a pleasant life.
