Red gums normal??

2019-04-29 13:48:13
Hi. I've been examining my mouth and noticed the upper part of my gums seem more red than the rest. Is this normal or should I be worried? As soon as I googled red gums it come up with pre cancer erythroplakia so I'm worried. Is this normal or something to worry about? Pics included. Thanks
