Does this look like gum disease? I feel like my gums are getting smaller and food is getting stuck between my teeth more easily. I’m terrified of gum disease. Help please. I have an appointment in a few days. I have extreme dental fear after a couple traumatic root canals and a bad reaction to the laughing gas.

Not possible to diagnose gum disease via photos. Having said that, your gums don't look bad and you look fairly young so any gum disease is at a very early stage and can be easily treated.
