Patient's question:
My son is one and two months old! He accidentally broke the gum between his two front teeth while eating, and it started bleeding! It has been more than a week now! Every time he touches the area around his gum, it bleeds! Now, it bleeds even if it's just touched slightly! If I leave it alone, it doesn't bleed anymore! It feels like the gum there isn't healing properly! What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the gums are scraped and the skin does not heal well, it may be related to a lack of vitamin C or poor blood clotting mechanism. It is recommended that you take your child to the dental clinic for a thorough examination of the blood count and C-reactive protein. It is also necessary to check the six coagulation tests. The above advice is for the question "My son is one year and two months old! He accidentally scraped the two front teeth in the middle when eating." I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
