Teeth visible in lower front gum line
Hi doctor, today I noticed mild pain and redness in my lower front gums. I also feel like a little more of the tooth is visible near the gum line. There is no major swelling or severe pain, but I wanted to check if it is gum irritation, tartar buildup, or early gum disease is it treatable

Get your teeth clean with professionals, as the accumulated tartar won’t come off by itself. If you won’t get it cleaned at earlier stage later it will cause the bacteria in tartar to eat away your bone and guns around that teeth leading to teeth mobility.
Preventive cleaning annually once is way better & cheaper than loosing and replacing.
Next Steps
Scaling and polishing
Health Tips
Post that do warm water salt rinses on daily basis for atleast 3 weeks

Hello Mam! I understand your concern. As per the pictures , it looks like tartar/calculus build up with gums recession + mild gum inflammation. It is absolutely treatable♥️
The tartar will not go via brushing,it requires professional Scaling , in simple terms cleaning. Followed by cleaning your dentist will prescribe you gum gel and mouthwash. Maintain oral hygiene and the gums will show healing.
Next Steps
Dental Check up followed by Scaling
Health Tips
Don’t Brush too hardly as it might cause Gum bleeding. People usually think brushing hard will remove the tartar, instead it causes gum recession and bleeding. Use Mouthwash prescribed by your dentist.
If you have any doubts, you can ask freely.
