I am 16 years old and i was kicked in the teeth a couple of days ago. When it first happened, the big part of the mouth gum that was kicked looked alright, just a little red. I went to sleep and the next morning, it was black. The gum is now white and soft and also starting to come off, leaving one of my teeth pretty exposed. Will my mouth gum grow back?

You need to seek a dentist soon. Such trauma cases are better taken care of by dentist rather online. By the pic all I can say is that you need surgical removal of the grown gums and your gums will grow again in the area.

hi 1st of all ur pic is not so clear so say exact things still i think the white portion is part of gum that has got lacerated/ cut and came down after separation. ur upperlip is also swalloon and adjacent gums condition also not good. i cant say anything about tooth condition.
i ll suggest u to visit a dentist asap for....
1 removal necrotizing gum part.
2 check for tooth or bony fractures
if so u need immediate intervention.
all d very best

Please visit your nearby Dentist at the earliest. Cannot exactly diagnose from the pic. Need proper history of trauma and clinical evaluation. After you visit your Dentist, do keep us updated on your condition and the advised treatment.

Doctor's Answer

Hello there, firstly I would like to mention here is that there is no age limit in medical science as far as any of the treatments is concerned. Children like any grown adult need their teeth for the purpose of eating food, talking (speech), muscles support, esthetics & overall growth of the jaw.

Hello i had my no 48 wisdom tooth removed on thursday morning and its been nearly 3 days now. What i wanted to know was i have noticed yesterday and today that the gum which had folded over the extraction site has receeded and left behind a thin white strand of tissue. is this a normal part of the healing process. I am not in any pain and have not smoked since the day of extraction (before). Also i know your advice will be to stop permanently but how long should i wait till i can smoke again
