Our son has had this odd mark on his gum. It has a whitish hard center and red vein around it.
The dentist was unsure what it was so he sent us to Oral Surgery.

They believe it is adult tooth coming in and irrating the gum?

It has been almost 6 weeks and the area has not improved.

What are your thoughts on what it might be?

It might be due to the angulation of eruption of the permanent tooth being slightly off. This is normal.
