Accepted Answer

See A Dentist: Without more information as well as a clinical exam, it would be difficult to determine what is going on.  Dark red swelling would suggest a collection of blood, i.e., possible hematoma or bruise, and sensation of a sharp cut suggests a history of trauma.  You need to be seen by a dental professional for further evaluation and treatment as indicated.

See you dentist for an evaluation.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Gums: The gums next to your teeth should be pink.  As you move further from the tooth crowns the tissue gets more red.  But the only way to find out if everything is OK is to see your Dentist.  Call for an appointment, you'll be glad you did.

Question 8

my gums have gone dark red for a while now. the doctor keeps saying it's fine but i can tell there is a problem. is there a way i could treat this?

Accepted Answer

Second Opinion: If you feel that your dentist has not diagnosed you correctly, then it would be wise to get a second opinion from another dentist in your area. In this way you will have peace of mind that there is no problem, or you will begin therapy for a problem that really exists. All the best...

Question 9

can bruxism cause red inflamed gums in front and lower incisors gums?

: It shouldn't. Bruxism can cause TMJ pain and pain on your teeth, but not inflamed gingiva. As I have answered to you before, see your local dentist. If it has been more than six months since a professional cleaning, now is the time.

Question 10

i am concerned about a red spot on my lower gum. would like to know if this may be a sign of oral cancer. ?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Unless you are a heavy tobacco abuser, it is not likely to be cancer, however, it is not feasible to say what the lesion may  be, without examining you. You may wish to consult your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
