Oral trauma: I would suggest you have him follow up with his dentist to be sure the teeth are ok after an oral injury. The dentist will be able to give you information on the extent of his injury. The gum can recover from quite a bit of damage and look normal again.

Trauma: At 7 years old, his permanent teeth are just coming in. Trauma to the gum tissue will most likely heal fine, but his dentist should examine his teeth to establish a baseline, since damage to the teeth done today may manifest itself a year or two from now. All the best....

See dentist ASAP: See your dentist immediately!! I would be more worried about the trauma to the developing teeth!! The dentist might want to check on the development of the teeth on a periodic basis with a clinical exam and radiograph.
