Suggest Treatment For Protruding Gums Behind Teeth

Hi. I have what feels like a loose piece of my gum behind my two top front teeth, and I'm really starting to freak out about it. I've been brushing and using mouth wash, but it's getting to the point that I'm scared to eat anything. I've had mild pain for the last week and it started when I ate some potato chips. I thought maybe I had just agitated it. But it's a week later... Please give me some advice.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The protruding gums behind the upper front teeth can be because of the inflamed interdental papilla secondary to deposits below the gums. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get your teeth cleaned once(scaling)
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
