Gum slightly swollen and could see gap
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 ☹️
