Is It Normal For Gums To Dangle After Tooth Extract?

I pulled my daughters baby tooth bc it was hanging and the gum above the tooth looked discolored. Now that her tooth is out the gum is dangling a little and red. Is that normal ? She has lost 6 other teeth and her gum has never been dangling like this before ? Thanks!

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the hanging tissue could be the flap covering the tooth nothing to worry as the tooth erupts it will disappear. if at all it becomes tender then get it excise. do saline gargling 3-4times. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
