Can Trauma To The Teeth Cause Internal Gum Bleeding?
Hello. My baby fell and his bottom teeth hit his upper gums and he started bleeding. The bleeding stopped except his gums are now black. Is this just a bruise or should I worry about internal bleeding? His top teeth have not come out yet but the side that is bruised is the tooth that seemed to be surfacing...

Hello,
Read your query, as your baby has Injury in gums , this bleeding is due to periodontal ligament injury , for thos you should consult dentist and go for IOPA x ray of that region of tooth and oral examination also.
You can apply ice pack to control bleeding , and give liquid diet and soft diet such as fruit juices , glucose , Electrol to prevent dehyration .
Hope this will help you.
