Gray color along gum line

[Anxiety Riddled]

I’ve been worried for a little while now about my bottom front teeth. I noticed within the last few months a grayish color on the bottom of my teeth along the gum line. I know it’s difficult to give any response without physically seeing what I’m talking about but what might this be? I’m worried it’s decay but I’m hoping it’s just staining or something else. It’s along my front bottom teeth, only really the 3 to 4 teeth in the center. (I have no pain or sensitivity).

Probably calculus (tartar). Any chance of a photo?

That was a thought I had that it may be considering I have a lot of trouble removing plaque from my teeth and trouble brushing there due to gum sensitivity. Could you recommend a good toothpaste for sensitivity and gum health? Maybe one that may help with this issue?

@Gordon as for a photo, I’m extremely self conscious about my teeth so I don’t like to show them but I’m pretty sure I couldn’t get a good/useful photo to show what I’m referring to anyway.

Honestly all toothpastes are pretty equal, for tooth sensitivity then any of the branded "Sensitive Tooth" ones will work, best applied with a finger to the sensitive area last thing at night time.
The other trick is to pull your lip down out of the way with your free hand so you can see what you're doing when you're brushing the area. Some people have a very tight lip attachment to the front of the mandible so it's awkward to get a brush in there.

No problem.
