Is It Normal To Have A Thick Skin Flap On The Gum?
my 6yrold daughter has a thick skin flap on the gum where her 6 yrold molars are cutting through. Is this normal? Will it eventually tear away? It is protruding from the center of the soon to be molar. I thought it was food and tried to pull out of tooth until i noticed it felt like skin.
