my 5 year old son has a tooth in the back that looks like it broke off it s down to his gums there is a swollen bump with blood inside the piece of tooth thats left he is complaining of pain but not very much its the weekend and emergency dentists are closed what should i do ?
Hello, The swollen bump on the gums could be because of the gum infection secondary to the sharp margins of the root. Consult a pediatric dental surgeon and take a radiograph to rule out the infection. If it is in a very bad condition, get the tooth removed under local anesthesia. Meanwhile, you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin three times a day, and Berlin junior three times a day for three days if you are not allergic. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
