I’m not able to get into the dentist until September but I am so beyond panicking right now, I’m in tears.

I’ve just flossed my bottom teeth and removed plaque from around the bottoms of them and noticed that my gum lifts slightly from the tooth in the middle of 2 of them.

is this normal?!? I posted a few months back about worries of receding gums and now this has happened!!! I’ve been trying to keep up on my dental hygiene and thought it was getting better!!!
 
It's not "normal" but it's not a big problem, it's because your gums are a bit inflamed at the moment, when your oral care gets sorted out it'll go away. Don't panic about it!
