what are these dark spots in my gums

Question

I’ve had braces for 3 years, I’ve recently gotten these darkish spots in between my teeth, I️ always brush and use a water pic to floss, but what are these? They are only in between these front bottom teeth. Are these cavities?

Answer

Looks like receding gums.

Answer

You need to floss (or floss better). That is inflamed gum tissue.

Answer

Kind of hard to see exactly but it could be just stain if you drink coffee or sweet tea it can cause stains like that. When you get your teeth cleaned from your hygienist they should just polish off. (I'm a dental assistant btw) but can't really see good so just ask your dentist or orthodontist next time you go.

Answer

I know it’s probably hard with braces, but I think it’s because you aren’t flossing properly. Before I flossed the right way, my gums looked like that.

Answer

Are they gaps?
