What causes red spot between the teeth?
Patient: hello doctor,i am a 23 year old male,i am 5'7 and 154 pounds and i dont smoke.I dont floss but i do brush regularly.but a couple days ago i noticed a small red spot appeared on my gums in between  two of my front teeth.Its inbetween my bottom teeth and its as high as it can go on my gums down there.no pain but it does bleed easily when i floss there.Any idea what this is?Its scary to look things up online. Doctor: thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the red point  over the gums and bleeding could be be cause of the inflammation of the gums secondary to the deposits over the teeth. consult your  oral physician and get your self examined and go for oral prophylaxis(cleaning of your teeth) and maintain oral hygiene after that. do saline gargling or rinse your mouth with water after eating anything. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
