Cause For Split In The Gums?
I just noticed a 2 splits in my lower gums below my teeth in the front of my mouth. I had to gum procedures over 7 or 8 years or so ago. I been moving around alot and working 2 jobs, so I haven't had a chance to find or go to a doctor or dentist. I brush my teeth everyday and sometimes I brush hard but I don't floss like I should. Now I scared that through my neglect I caused more severe damage to gums.

Thankyou you for posting in hcm.. previous gum treatment suggests that your gum health is bad as such.Teeth need to be mainained properly after gum procedures.If you could not use floss, mouth wash or interdental brush, atleast you must visit .your dentist once in 6 months to get your regular cleaning done.Please visit your dentist immediately. hope i answered your query

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This split which you are mentioning can be nothing just a frenal attachment means from where the gingiva is attached to the lips, so there is nothing to worry about it. But if you feel some pain in that then you have to visit your dentist for proper investigation.
Hope it will help you.
