my 15 month old daughter is has just cut her first molar on her right hand side but yesterday i noticed on her left hand molar side there was a raised lump that was sort of clear and looked like an ulcer - today when i looked it apperas to be a lump of gum thats attached still but flaps around and there is a hole where her tooth would be coming through, is this dangerous or an absess or something? she is in discomfort but im not sure if its from this or the other tooth?\"? please help!
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concern. As per your complaint it seems that a transparent bump in the gum with signs of teething seems to be most probably an Eruption Hematoma or an Eruption cyst that occurs as a fluid filled pale colored lump, and it is not a harmful condition and will resolve as the tooth will erupt. But in case if there is any problem associated with it or the tooth gets delay in erupting then it has to be removed to let the tooth erupt in the mouth and once the tooth erupts there is no further problem associated with it. Consult a Periodontist once and get it confirmed by a clinical evaluation. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
