Hi! My 11 month old son has a strange \"growth\" in the gums over one of his baby teeth.  It nearly covers the entire tooth.  While attenpting to remove it with a tissue, a white \"plug\" came out of it.  It was not liquid, but gelatinous in consistancy.  Could this be a parasite, or just solidified pus?  What would you recommend we do.  Thx!
Hello! Thank you for posting here. This can be gingival hyperplasia. This must be taken seriously as this infection can spread to the tissues around. You did not mention the general oral hygiene of your child. You did not mention if she is taking any medication for general health. Clean his gums with wet sterile gauze piece every day. Removal of the tooth after an x-ray or removal of the tissue can be carried out. You did not mention if the tooth is movable or not. Regards.
