My daughter has a wobbly lower incisor, between the 2 teeth next to that one, my daughter has a slightly swollen bit of gum. It's between the teeth at the very peak of where the triangle of gum is.
It's slightly white and honestly so small, but it doesn't hurt. No bleeding or other issues
it almost looks like a tint skin tag.

. Im Wondering what this could be, I'm really anxious about teeth so I can overreact sometimes.
She was at the dentist in August and all was fine then.
Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

The only way you'll know is by taking her to the dentist. Whatever it is it's bound to be nothing serious. Especially as it doesn't hurt. Just take her there tomorrow if it's open, (some dentists are?) or Monday morning.

Unfortunately they aren't open until Monday and I couldn't get anything for today. I was hoping to ease my mind for the weekend as I don't want to worry her. She is 6 and totally unbothered by it!

I can't quite figure out where this swollen gum is from your description. But my daughter had a swollen gum a few weeks ago above a wobbly tooth. It grew rapidly over the course of 2 days and turned out to be something called an eruption cyst.

Sorry its tricky to describe. My daughter is asleep so i cant get a picture, i added a drawing. I don't think it's big enough to be an eruption cyst, it almost looks like a bit of pinched gum.

When teeth are wobbly is can make the gums look strange. I don't think you need to be worried. By all means call the dentist Monday to double check, but most likely it'll all sort itself out once the tooth falls out.
