Can A Soft Tissue Appear After Losing A Teeth?
My 6 year old just lost her fourth tooth (front top) and there is a piece of soft tissue looking substance left behind where there should be an empty space. It isn t hanging, but looks more like a piece of food stuck there. I had her rinse several times, first with warm water & then with warm water & a little salt. Is there something else I should do?

hi,
Thanks for asking.
Due to improper resorption of teeth there might be a small remnant of tooth structure. Its not much of concern.
you can visit a dentist near by who will extract the remaining part of the tooth.
