Strange gumline foreign object

[Taffy]

I hope your vet visit goes well! I'll be interested in what they say.

She said she had never seen anything like that before either. She removed it and it we both agreed it was a rotted baby tooth that had been stuck in there.  It was stuck good too, it didn't come out very easily.  Poor Basho took it like a champ but he definitely wasn't happy about the whole operation and has been eyeing me suspiciously and acting pitiful ever since.  I think in his mind I was punishing him for something.  I'm glad I noticed it because it was beginning to rot and surely would have caused some sort of infection if left alone.

Did removing the baby tooth leave a permanent indentation in the gum or was the tooth not embedded in the gum?
