Hi...
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns...

As per your complain a small hard and dangling piece over the gums that is present after removal of the tooth does not seems like any tooth piece and can be a hard deposit that are formed over the tooth due to improper cleaning..
As you have removed the tooth there might be slight injury to the gums causing inflammation and leading to slight pain..
You can give her tylenol and apply a numbing gel over the sore area..
You can try to remove the hard piece using a sterile gauze piece after applying numbing gel..
If it does not remove consult a Pedodontist and get her evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
