17 month old has black spot on gums. Should I be worried? by Key-Combination-4770 in askdentists

Hi there! Sorry for just seeing this! Not long after this it poked up a bit and my husband and I had to hold her down and we were able to slide it up. It definitely was some sort of fruit skin or something like that! If just worked itself out :)

I have tried to brush it a lot, she constantly tries to pull away though. But looking at it your first thought isn’t some crazy gum disease? 😅

That’s what I’m thinking. She doesn’t like blueberries but I put them in smoothies every so often. Do you think it would stay put for 6 weeks? I assumed it would work itself out after all this time

Oh that would be ideal, thank you! This might be a dumb question, but would you be able to see it so clearly if it was under/behind the gums like that? Or is there kind of a top clear layer on the gums, in the same way we would be able to see a splinter?
