Relax: It's normal. That's the remnant of the nerve tissue in the tooth. It will recontour and disappear in just a few days. If you are concerned, have her Family Dentist or Pedodontist (pediatric dental specialist take a look). And while you're at it know that the age recommendation for 1st Orthodontic Examination is Age 7. Doesn't mean that your child will need treatment, but Exam is usually free.
