Hello, my daughter has a loose front tooth (top) & recently I noticed a purple, almost bruise-like discoloration to her gums directly above the tooth. She complained of pain when I was brushing her teeth. No trauma to that area, that I am aware of.
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, Could be as a result of trauma if unnoticed, infection in the tooth or gums. I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get a checkup done, take an IOWA radiograph of the region. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics. Depending upon the diagnosis the treatment will be decided. Take care!
