A one-year-old baby with black bags on the gums may be subgingival stasis or an eruptive cyst, and observation is recommended, with incision of the gums to assist eruption if necessary.
1. Subgingival stasis: due to the child’s habit of gnawing hard objects, it can lead to subgingival capillary rupture and stasis. It is recommended to observe, avoid touching the traumatized area, which may affect the pain, and maintain oral hygiene.
2. Eruption cysts: The process of tooth eruption requires breaking the gingiva, some patients may form fluid retention under the gingiva, and stasis leads to the appearance of black bags on the gums. As the tooth erupts, it usually disappears gradually; if the tooth fails to erupt for a long period of time, it is recommended to make an incision to assist eruption.
It is recommended that one year old babies with black bags on their gums go to the dentistry department of a regular hospital for consultation.
