What causes small flap of gum between teeth?
Patient: Hi there i have recently developed some kind of small flap of gum inbetween my two front top teeth which at first felt a bit puffy and slightly painful so i gently brushed my teeth and a little blood came out from behind this small flap of gum, now the pain is mostly gone but this strange little piece of loose gum is still here. Doctor: Helloo..regarding your query i can say that there is nothing to worry its just a gum inflammation.it can be either due to some food debris like small bit of shellfish or some small bit of some debris..it will heal by its own naturally.you can do nice salt water gargle.and can do listerine mouth wash twice daily for 1-2 wks..absolutely nothing to worry..be happy and smile.have a nice day..
