If you are otherwise healthy, a pyogenic granuloma in the mouth is not particularly dangerous. It is simply a localized area of acute inflammation in the gum tissue with highly vascular (lots of blood vessels) exuberant tissue growth as a defense mechanism. Once the source of the infection has been removed, the inflammation will be resolved. Sometimes a minor surgery needs to be performed to remove the benign tumor. See your dentist or dental hygienist for proper treatment. To see what a typical pyogenic granuloma looks like in the mouth, click on the RELATED LINK below.)

Pyogenic granuloma, pregnancy granulomas or pregnancy tumors are single, tumor-like, soft tissue growths typically seen on the gums region between teeth and they rarely destroy the bone. They are attached via a stem with intense red to deep purple color, depending on the blood supply of the lesion and the degree of blood stagnation.Usually no larger than 2 cm, the granulomas are painless and may bleed readily if disturbed. They usually regress after delivery and are often related to poor oral hygiene. Furthermore pregnancy graunulomas are attributed to the general effects of progesterone and estrogen on the host immune system.http://www.intelligentdental.com/2010/02/09/changes-in-your-mouth-during-pregnancy/
