Q.
Hello. Dr Ian Dunn I have a question about my gums and I’m worried I may have gum disease at an early form. I dont think I have ever had gum disease as i have never had any issues with my gums before now, not any of the ones listed on this website anyway. the problem is I was looking at my gums whilst flossing the other day and I noticed there is small dark patch just above my right upper central tooth. it looks like a vein would just under the surface, dark. but its a blob shape not a wirey shape? I have never noticed it before so i assume its new, its now been there for three days and has worried me a little what would be your thiughts on this situation? thank you

Hi, That certainly does not sound like gum disease to me, I would say to keep on top of your oral hygiene and keep an eye on it but in a mean time I would speak to your dentist as it would need someone to see it to diagnose it properly.
