Maintain oral hygiene. Massage gums with finger while brushing. Visit dentist for clinical examination and teeth cleaning. Color change from pink to red must be due to gingival inflammation due to subgingival calculus. Other reasons include ongoing medications and underlying diseases if any.
Next Steps
Visit dentist.
