Can baby gums grow back after being severely cut?

my baby is only 8 months when she had an accident. she had severely cut her upper gums. after the cut, i can see her growing teeth when it shouldn't be visible. the gums covering it had been cut. i'm afraid she might have problems with her teething now that her gums are deformed. please help if


anyone has similar experience..

Can baby gums grow back after being severely cut?
When teeth come out, new gum tissue will surround them, so I don't see that as a problem, unless the trauma caused the gum to be fibrous forming thick scar tissue, it can delay the eruption of her teeth or cause some potential problems later, you need to see a dentist, to make sure that the trauma she had, didn't affect the teeth underneath her gum, by age 8months, she should have some teeth in her mouth by now. if she doesn't, check with a pedodontist (children dentist) just to make sure everything is OK.


Good Luck.
Reply:Take her to see the dentist. The gums may heal up like any cut on the skin, but may need stitches to heal right.
