My Teeth! What's Happening?

I've always had a perfect smile. It was always white, my gums were always healthy, I've only had 1 Cavity ever, my gums are pink not red, but yesterday, I noticed that the gum below my two lower front teeth, when i take my finger nail, I can kind of feel the gum and it's not completely 'attached' to the teeth! What's happening? Does everyone have this? It's attatched, just like the tips of it kind of. I can't exactly explain it, but if you know what I mean, PLZ HELP ME!

My Teeth! What's Happening?
Perhaps you have bruised your gums, since you said you always have had perfect teeth then it is obvious that some form of a trauma to your gums. Maybe food you ate yesterday or day before, and I do not believe that you smoke because your question sounds as if you have been proud of your perfect smile and all -Congratulations!! If you have the time and or a relationship (professional) with a Dentist - make an appointment as soon as you can to see him/her. You also may want to wait 1 or 2 days to see if it clears up. Your first answer was just a guess, your second answer was just nonsense. I am not a Dentist, so depending on you knowing your condition prior and currently, you MUST make the decision yourself - gums do have a purpose, and I personally floss, use an electric toothbrush and accidentally overdone the process to where your condition has happened to myself. It has usually happened when I brush or eat something with either a bone in it or popcorn. Gargle with water and salt (this usually heals the gums) and do remember if it bothers you - see a dentist. Hope this helps and good Luck!! By the way, answer #1 is guessing and answer #2 is just spam!!! Do the best to keep your fingernails away (as hard as it is) away from feeling the gums for now.
Reply:i dont know if you smoke or if youve had kids but to me it sounds like gingevitis. definitly schedule appt with dentist but its common and very easy to fix just brush mouthwash and floss. but make sure he sees you.
Reply:I think this is normal. I have the same thing on some of my teeth. I am pretty sure this is natural for your gums not to be completely attached to your teeth.
Reply:Just to be safe, see your dentist.


But, if you brush in an up/down motion, you could have moved the gum away from the tooth.
Reply:Sound to me like you might be obsessing just a little about your teeth [picking gums with a fingernail is NOT a good idea]. Just chill out a little OK? Gums are not attached to teeth! Gums are attached to bone and when they come up to the teeth there is a little crevice that allows everything to attach to the root of the tooth. It's called a periodontal attachment. The crevice runs all around the tooth and is on all teeth. Usually, in a healthy mouth, this is anywhere from 1-3mm deep which is plenty deep enough to catch with a fingernail. Soooo it sounds like you have a very healthy mouth which just needs to be less monitored at home, but do keep up with your great home care.
Reply:Proper dental hygiene makes a person feel well through out the day. Brushing the teeth daily two times helps in keeping the dental diseases at bay. Dental hygiene is of utmost important for everyone. Choosing a proper paste and brush is very important as it helps in fighting cavities and germs in the teeth. Toothbrush should be changed at least every 4-5 months. Dental hygiene is very important and brushing the teeth every night does helps in removing the germs. Flossing the teeth daily and using plaque control mouthwash is very important for a person. Cleaning the tongue is also very important as it helps in removing the bad breath.
