How To Treat Gum Bleeding Due To Injury?
My three year old just fell face first onto our tile in the bathroom. I immediately picked him up but his upper lip was bleeding and then when we looked at his teeth, the gum above his two front teeth is all bruised and bloody. His teeth didn't feel loose but what should I do?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
If there is bruise present on the gums, then it can be possible that the roots of teeth which are present below the gums are also hurt.
Better that once you should visit a child dentist ( pedodontist) and get an x - ray done for confirmation.
Till them you can just apply an anesthetic ointment on the bruise and cut.
Hope it will help you.
