[|Human|] This morning I noticed the gums immediately around one tooth, lower, is very dark, deep red. This tooth has a crown on it. This was noticed when I was flossing today. It is uncomfortable around this tooth, more of an ache actually. I cant afford dental care right now though.
[|AI|]  Hello thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor. The inflamed red gums is caused by inflammation of the gum surrounding the crown,you might need oral prophylaxis -scaling and polishing, if calculus/tartar has deposited.you also need to do gum massage with the pulp of the finger. Use chlorhexidine mouth wash if you are not allergic to it. You could also get an Iowa radiograph to check for alveolar bone loss around it. Kindly consult a periodontist for a check-up and treatment if problem persists. Hope it helps,take care
