What Could Be The White Fragment In The Gum Left After Losing The Tooth?
My 6 year old daughter just lost her first tooth and there is a small white fragment left in her gum. Could this be part of her baby tooth root that was broken off and did not come out, or maybe her adult tooth poking through? Should I take her to the dentist or is this normal?
