<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My son bumped his mouth with his arm and a hot wheel car. Now the gum above his front tooth is hanging and bloody and I can see the upper part of his tooth that would normally be concealed by his gum. Does he need to see the dentist or will this heal on its own? I feel that a flap of gum would not just reattach itself and probably needs a stitch ...  <response>: Hello Welcome to ChatDoctorYou didnt mention age of your child. Its really important to consult your dentist because if child is 10-13, teeth are in erupting stage trauma at that time may lead to developmental anomaly in eruption. One thing is very clear that your child has got a soft tissue injury has lost some bone covering. So Its necessary to consult dentist for getting stitches if required. Along with that antibiotic analgesics are required. Also do take care of his oral hygiene. Take Disregards Chat Doctor.
