I my front teeth and lower teeth gums are red only. it's not caused by oral hygiene and either brushing hard. i been cleaning it a year now and its red still no matter how much i clean and floss. it has to have a different cause than oral hygiene?

You've asked the same question multiple times. It is hard to diagnose these issues without radiographs, periodontal charting, and an examination. My suggestion is you see a periodontist, a specialist who deals in such matters.

IF YOU PRACTICE GOOD ORAL HYGIENE AS YOU STATED THAN YOU MAY BE UNDER A LOT OF ANXIETY AND STRESS TO CAUSE THIS REDNESS. SOME MEDICATIONS CAN CAUSE THIS PROBLEM ALSO. NORMAL GUM PIGMENTATION CAN BE RED INSTEAD OF DARK, IF YOUR GUMS DON'T BLEED THAN YOU ARE GOOD AND NORMAL,DON'T WORRY.

Causes for red gums. Trauma, improper oral hygiene practices, malocclusion, oral anatomic variation, avoidance of regular (6 month) professional examination/cleaning, inflammation, sub-gingival calculus, food or environmental allergies, just to mention a few. You've asked this question before, and the answer is always the same. See a Periodontist, a gum/bone specialist. Your screen can't fix this.
