Red Spots On Gums Under Front Teeth And Between Each Tooth. What Could This Be?
I just noticed my gums under my front teeth have very red spots in between the teeth. It is all across the front, approximately 6 teeth. It runs from almost bottom of gum line to up almost in between each tooth.However, pink gum seperates each redened area. Upper gums normal. No other symptoms as if yet.

Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with healthcaremagic.
When there is starting of inflammation of the gums it appears like this only as you are describing, so it can be the infection only because of which the gums are red.
The cause of inflammation only in the front teeth can be because of crowding of teeth or some times it happens in mouth breathers also.
I will advise you to visit a dental clinic and get it checked.
Ok Take Care.
