What is this on daughter’s gum? Dentists please help!

[Jabbitt]

DD (7) had a little white dot on the back of her top gum for a few weeks (she thinks she knocked it with a party blower). She came upstairs tonight and said it felt all squishy. I had a look and it has changed from a little white dot to this protruding red, soft squishy lump. She said it only hurts around the edge of the lump and if she presses it.

is this likely a cyst / eruption cyst? She’s never had mouth issues before and is very good at keeping her gums and teeth clean. I thought (when it was a white dot) it may have been a new tooth growing in. She saw the dentist a few months ago (before the white spot appeared) and there was no concerns then.

any advice is greatly appreciated!

It’s in the top left hun at the back of her teeth

This is a better picture!

Not a dentist, but could it be her 6 year molars erupting? My daughter (6) has the same going on

I think it's a tooth coming in. I'm not a dentist

Should add that the 6 year molars do not replace any baby teeth. Looks to be in the right place as well

@BridgetJonesDaiquiri thank you - I thought it may have been that but I don’t think she’s had this before. I’ve counted DS’s teeth and he has one more either side than DD (he’s 2 years older) so it could be that. I think it looks swollen too, but she’s not jn pain unless she presses it.

It's likely a tooth but it looks very much like a dead saliva gland. It happens from a trauma to the area. I had one in my lip as a kid, they kind of have a core but if you agitate them they swell and blister (that's what it looks like). I had to get mine cut out. No idea if you have a saliva gland in your gum though!
