Probable gum problem: when was your last dental appointment? May need a general cleaning may need more extensive cleaning. Is the gum tissue around the crowns of your teeth pink or red does it bleed if you scrape around your teeth with a tooth pick? Do you floss everyday. Have you had any teeth extracted? If so why? Tx could be simple to complex!
