What Is The Redness And Pressure In My Gums?

The last couple of days my gums have became red and have receded slighty, they don't bleed and they aren't sore. my root canal that i got about 3 years ago feels like there is pressure on it but it is not acheing. Also my collar bone that i broke about a year ago(it is fully healed) is acheing. My sleep has been messed up for about a week now(purposely because of fire college) and i have been under a lot of stress. Worrying about my teeth is causing a lot of stress as well. I brush twice a day and floss once.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

The gums mentioned suggests chronic gingivitis ( inflammation of the gingiva).I would advice you to visit your local dentist and get your teeth cleaned and follow the post instructions given by the dentist.

Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while. If the recession still increase or is more prominent after this you will require further treatment from your periodontist.

Have a radiograph done of the root canal treated tooth to evaluate the healing status of the tooth.

Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
