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?

Hi , the gum in this area is sometimes very thin. If plaque was allowed to accumulate or your brushing technique is a bit too vigorous, inflammation can appear (redness, a bit of swelling, sometimes tenderness). This, in turn can lead to gum recession right on the buccal surface of the tooth (teeth).
I advise you to see your dentist/hygienist to check if your brushing technique is correct and to eliminate any hardened plaque that may have grown deeper in the tissue and is harming it. It’s likely that a good yet efficient cleaning suffices but you may need advise on the correct cleaning technique.
