My 7 year old daughter has puss coming out of a small bump on her gum line on top of her two front teeth, could that be from a tooth access ?

Yes, it can be: She needs to be evaluated by a local dentist. You do not want an infection compromising her secondary teeth.

Infection: The bump with pus is an abcess or infection. She should be seen by a dentist to get this checked so it does not effect the growing permanent tooth.
