My almost 7yr son woke this morning with a pulpit type things dangling by what seems like a string, his molar not in yet, in upper rear left.

Oral issue: This is something that needs evaluation by a dentist with a clinical exam. Parents are often confused as to what teeth belong in the mouth at what age. It is possible that your son is losing a baby tooth, but what is more concerning is that he already should have his six year permanent molar in the mouth. It is hoped that what you describe is not the pulp of the six year molar which has decayed.
