I think I’ve all but treated my gum disease but are the light patched of gum going to be problematic?

Q.

HI Ian, ,I have noticed recently that I have relly light patches above my teeth in my gums. it looks like the gum is really stretched over the tooths rooth sort of thing? my gums have receded a little bit I think as the little triangle bits either side of my front right incisor have gone. this is the only place they have done so and I think I may have halted any further progress with excellent oral hygiene including a check up and hygienist clean at the dentist since I noticed. I feel like I’ve done ll I can in the mean time but could the lighter patches of gum be problematic? thanks for your time Dr it is appreciated.

The gum under my lower teeth seems a little too red to me?

January 26th, 2012
Q.

Hiya i am 23 years old. I have recently noticed that my gums under my lower front two teeth are becoming a little red. The gums around the teeth are becoming a little loose too,but not to the extent of hanging off. The gums judt.move if i touch them. The gums and teeth don’t hurt and i have no pain at all. When i wake up in the morning there is no redness,but throught the day it appears. I am currently using Oral B toothpaste,and have bought acohol free Chorysdal mouthwash.I was just
wondering what this may be? I also rinse my mouth in warm salt water to prevent infection. Please can you help?

My gums are receding but my dentist says I don’t have gum disease, can that happen?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

I have noticed my gums receeding at an alarming rate, I first noticed it last year after using several home teeth whitening kits. I went to the dentist who said I did not have gum disease and it was part of the ageing process but I am only 38 years old. I only clean my teeth with a sonic care tooth brush and floss regulary but I have noticed that certain things I do make it worse like brushing too much and using whitening tooth paste.
Hope you can help

I have a crack in my gum but I don’t recall making it. What is it and who do I see, doctor or dentist?

Q.

Im worried about my gums state of health, I have a long split in my gum from my right canine(?) tooth leading upwards towards my cheek inside my mouth, it has been there for a month now and seems to heal then reappaer, it doesn’t hurt unless I touch it continually. Who do I see? a Doctor or a dentist for this and what could have caused it as I don’t recall eating anything sharp like crisps to have had this appear. Thankyou
