A fleshy bump on the baby’s tooth bed is usually due to apical inflammation of the tooth and is accompanied by penetration of the alveolar bone and gums, resulting in redness, swelling and pain. These bumps usually require root canal treatment. Fleshy bumps that are loose and have a fluctuating sensation of pressure can be incised and drained or this herpes can be picked up with a probe to be able to drain the pus. In addition, after the baby has had a root canal, the tooth will need to be restored with a preexisting crown. In the case of permanent teeth, you usually need to wait until you are about 18 years old to do a crown restoration. If the root canal of the tooth is not fully developed, apical induction molding is needed to promote the development of the root so that the tooth can be stabilized. Regular oral hygiene check-ups are usually recommended, once every six months to a year or so.
