Question:

My 2yr old daughter fell off the bed and hit her mouth on something. It was kinda bloody. when i finished cleaning her off, i noticed that a piece of her gum was cut off above her left front tooth. Will this grow back?

Answer:

It is likely that your daughter’s gums will heal without any problems. The fall, however, could have damaged her baby teeth. This is an excellent time to have her examined by a dentist who is experienced in treating young children.
