This is gum boil / parulis due to long standing infection ( chronic abscess ) in tooth due to non treated cavity . The pus/abscess from tooth, resorbs the bone around the tooth slowly and then swells and Pierce the gums . Pain is not much in this condition as all the pus is getting drained in mouth . So no pressure buildup.
Next Steps
x ray to check status of the tooth /roots and
to decide if tooth can be saved by pulpectomy.. if not, tooth should be removed and space maintainer is placed.
Health Tips
visit pedodontist near you and get the treatment done immediately.
