Behind my top teeth i had a line of white and a purplish blue, i think it was because i used to always brush my teeth but since the holidays i stopped doing it as much, im doing it now and its starting to go away.... was it lack of teeth cleaning?

Purplish blue: Your question cannot be answered without a physical examination. That aside, in all probability brushing alone will probably not fully resolve the issue. Do not expect this to self correct. You must be evaluated by a Dentist.
