purple gums?

Question

Somewhat recently and suddenly my gums have turned purple. The gums covering my teeth and the roots appear to be normal and pink but above that the gums and inside of my lip has turned purple. The gums up above my teeth have also sunk back a little bit. This is happening on top and bottom. I saw a dentist and he said it looked normal with no signs of gum disease. I explained to him my gums were pink and thick above my teeth and now they are purple and much thinner. I am only 26 could this be aging?

All of this happened about 2 months after I started having very dry sinuses and dry nasal passages. Also I think the bottom of my nose is kind of going back where my upper gums have set back.

Answer 1

Signs and symptoms


In the earliest stages, periodontal disease causes few signs or symptoms, and you may not be aware of a problem until your gums become soft and bleed slightly when you brush your teeth. As the disease progresses, you may notice more-serious changes, including:

Swollen, bright red or purple gums
Gums that feel tender when touched
Gums that pull away from your teeth (recede), making your teeth look longer than normal
New spaces developing between your teeth
Pus between your teeth and gums
Persistent breath odor or a bad taste in your mouth
Loose teeth or a change in the way your teeth fit together when you bite
