Hi,

I am Dr XXXXXXX and I will try my level best to help you.

You are fine nothing is going on in your gum.

There are few signs about gum disease if you had any of them please confirm

1) Bleeding from gums
2) teeth sensitivity
3) bad breath
4) color changes on teeth.
5) Any unusual bump
6) loose teeth
If you don't have any thing in above mention list, just take a XXXXXXX of relief.

Please feel free to contact me in case of any concerns.

Thanks of the query
Dr. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
