Gum slightly swollen and could see gap

2022-05-09 11:35:32
I've had troubles with bleeding gums in the past for which the doctor has given me some vitamins and a gel for gum massage. Today, I saw that a small part of my gum(front teeth) is slightly swollen and getting pulled away from the teeth. It's not hurting but I could see a slight gap between teeth and gum ☹️

I have understood the problem you're facing. Don't worry about it. Inflammation of gums causes this swelling. This just requires a proper gum treatment.
Next Steps
You should immediately consult a gum specialist. If you'd like, you can book an appointment with us. We'd be happy to treat you.
Health Tips
Make sure you brush and floss every morning and night so that your gums remain healthy. Regular six monthly check up is necessary for you..
