Gum inflammation
Hi,
I have slight pain in one gum, just
below the bridge on lower left side. This gum is the one without tooth. It's not red, but looks like there's a while line, a depressed sort of line on the gum below bridge.
What could have caused this? And what's the remedy?

The pain needs to be checked out. There could be food impaction around the area or the tooth underneath in the adjacent area should be checked out. The depressed line could be just bone loss Inder the bridge that is normal. Get a dental check up and your dentist will advise you . An X-ray might be required
