Question: Do you have hyperplasia tissue on your child's gums?

 

Question: Do you have hyperplasia tissue on your child's gums?

 

 

The photo is of my son's mouth.
I'm not sure if it's clearly visible, but there is a bump on the innermost part of your gums.
I discovered this when the baby was about 100 days old.
Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the flesh attached like a lump, similar to gums.
I was so surprised, I don't even know how to describe it, whether it's gum disease or some other unknown illness.

Now, the child is grown up and has molars, so it looks smaller.

Since it was at 100 days, it was a baby and had no teeth, so it looked bigger.
When I discovered it as a baby and went to the pediatrician, they said they didn't know much and suggested I visit a dentist.
Should I ask at the dentist's office if my gums are underdeveloped?
You can just think of it as a cyst or consider it as a pseudotumor.
It's not something serious like an illness or a problem.
They said that the child would just feel uncomfortable as they grow up.
Since he is a baby, I was told that he can't do anything and just has to be watched.

 

And you get a dental check-up every six months.
I moved between several dental clinics as I grew up.
I ask the doctor every time I receive dental treatment.
All the teachers said there is no need to worry, only that it is inconvenient.
If it's not uncomfortable, you can just leave it alone.
If it's uncomfortable, they say that when the child grows a bit, they can undergo removal surgery.

 

 

So, I'm just watching and waiting.
I'm not sure exactly what the medical condition is called.
Of course, they said it's okay to leave it as it is in the hospital, but
From a mother's perspective, it's also understandable to feel anxious.
Do you have a child with these symptoms?
Or among you, is there anyone who has something like this?
The child occasionally says they feel uncomfortable.
Is it correct to perform the removal surgery with that?

I'm also 고민ing whether it's right to just tell them to endure.

    저는 이빨 빼고 난 자리가 딱 저랬었는데 살다보니 그냥 신경안쓰고 살게 되더라구요
    처음엔 계속 혓바닥으로 저기만 만지고 그랬는데 시간 지나니 자연스레 적응하게 된 것 같아요
    좀 더 시간을 두고 결정해보시는게 좋지 않을까 싶어요

    아이 잇몸에 튀어나와 있어 걱정되실거 같아요 
    인터넷에 찾아보니까 아이의 경우 간혹 사진처럼 튀어나온게 있을 수 있나봐요
    자라면서 작아져서 없어지기도 하는거 같아요 
    혹시 통증이 있거나 불편함이 있으면 바로 치과 가보시면서 관리하시면 될 거 같아요

    엄마 마음이 아이에게 조그마한 이상이라도 있으면 많이 걱정이 되지요. 병원에서 큰 문제 아니라니깐 조금 기다리셨다가 아이가 좀더 크고 많이 불편해 하면 제거해줘도 되지 않을까요?

     아이가 불편하지 하거나 아프지만 않는다고 하면
     우선은 지켜 보는게 좋은것 같아요 
    찝찝한 뭔가의 느낌도 익숙해지지 않을까 싶기도 
     한데 조금더 큰후 해주는게 좋지 않을까요?

    의사선생님들 말을 들어봐도 다 똑같네요. 엄마 입장에서는 많이 답답하시겠어요. 의사선생님들이 자기 자식 아니라고 그렇게 막 얘기하는 거 같기도 하실 거고... 그래도 큰 걱정 안 해도 된다고 공통적인 의견이니. 나중에 다시 수술하는 것을 고려해 보세요.
