What Causes Roughness On The Front Teeth?

My gums on the top above my front teeth have been feeling rough, almost like a cats tongue as strange as that sounds! They have been like that for a couple months and are still pink but a little darker than they used to be. My bottom gums are fine and there is a small difference in color between the two. Is this something I should worry about?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain roughness of the gums on the top of the front teeth along with dark pinkish discolouration of gums seems to be due to infection in gums..
Rough appearrence of the gums can also be due to hypertrophy of the sebaceous glands present prominently in that area..

But whether there is any pathology or not has to be confirmed with a clinical evaluation and investigations can be done accordingly..

As of now you should do gum paint massage.
Do warm saline gargles..
Gargle with antiseptic mouthwash twice a day..
Drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
