Hmmm... I did some research on gingival hyperplasia, as well as tumors, and Mo's gum tissue is literally growing directly over/covering the tooth, which looked dark inside before this started, like a cloak (he also has cracked canine on other side - was like this when I got him - who knows what happened...). So I just assumed what Dr. Redman thought - that the tissue is growing over to try to absorb the bad tooth. Unfortunately, he can't have an x-ray until he's cleared by cardiologist due to heart murmur. I'm assuming an x-ray would show what's going on with the tooth, no?? Or would it have to be some other diagnostic test??
Thank you so much for your response!
