What Does A Purple Lump Under The Gum Indicate?
My 8 year old son came home with a painless purplish lump under his gum on the upper left side slightly above what I think is his canine tooth. I called his after hours dentist and he said it could wait untill morning. I am very disturbed by this lump and would like to get some kind of an answer so I can sleep tonight:) D you have any ideas?

this may b due to minor bleeding under the gums due to trauma. this may also b due to vitamin c deficiency. there is no need to worry.
