Hard to say: Gum tissue that is detached from your tooth is indicative of a periodontal problem. This needs to be evaluated by a local dentist. Please call for an appointment.

See a periodontist: If your gum is separated from its attachment then you have gum problems which needs to be evaluated and treated by a periodontist.
