hi, my 12 year old daughter has a sore, gum colored bump behind her two front teeth. shes had it for quite a while but now since she has braces and an anchor band its become very irritated and swollen & is starting to swell between her two front teeth. shes been complaining that the pain has become worse, she has a scheduled tightening next month and today theyre closed. i plan to make her an appointment asap but i was so curious that i came here. please help.
Looks like a frictional gingival hyperplasia or can be due to any infections or impacted food debris under the gums. Gargle with warm saline with salt. If the pain is unbearable she can Be given paracetamol 500 mg and amoxicillin 500 mg in case if you find it infected
