Inflammation, purple spot, swelling and bleeding areas may occur in gum right over teeth of children.
It should be paid attention to swelling and bleeding areas under and above 1 cm of gum and within cheek and lip. 
Bleeding, swelling, purple spot and inflammation mostly stem from insufficiency of brushing or failure of cleansing excessively crooked teeth. These findings are encountered in the area of false missing fillings and decays not treated in back section. Reason of gum whose swelling and bleeding parts are expanded over gum is generally a sign of inflammation of milk teeth and cyst in root section.
Excessive expansion, bleeding and swelling may be seen in gum in adolescent period of female children (11-13 ages). In addition to this, systematic diseases, flu, fever, most constitutional disease and excessively used drugs give these symptoms.
We can create a healthy youth by preserving treatments of paediatric dentist specialists, periodical checks, ideal mouth care and child mouth and tooth health.
