Growing gums on front teeth
Teeth muscle are growing near front teeth. It is happening second time. Around 1 month ago it was growing, then I visited a nearby dentist, he said that extra grown teeth muscle has to be removed by operation, and he cut that and no medicine were prescribed.
After few days it again stated growing.
First it was on 1 tooth, now it on one more another tooth.

Hi...
There can be a lot of reasons associated with the gingival enlargement you have like collection of food debris and bacteria, any medications you are taking, hereditary disease, systemic causes like hormones and blood disorders etc.
So a proper history and physical examination will only help to identify the cause and the treatment.
Till then take good care of your dental health by brushing, rinsing well after every meal and eating healthy

Please start with a dental cleaning procedure. The gums have swollen quite a lot. Following that further assessment would be needed to identify the cause of the gingival growth/swelling.
