Hi. My gums are dark red at the bottom and light pink near the tooth. They are not swollen or sore and neither do they bleed much when brushing.My wife says my breath has been smelling bad recently.I also had a blood clot on the brain 12 months ago and my A1C Diabetes test is raised to 6.2
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The dark red discoloration over the gums can be because of the inflammation secondary to deposits. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You can get the teeth cleaned. The inflammation can be increased in case of diabetes. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
