The multiple bubbles are kinda large underneath my gums but they are not white and not painful. When I stretch my gums they disappear, but when I pull them together multiple bumps appear. What could this be? I do where a retainer so could it be bacteria that collected onto my retainer and then got into my gums develop something? Please help

Also my lip and inside gums are beginning to peel, but not excessively. The pink below my lower teeth seem to be whiter than usual. Please help

I had this same problem not too long ago. I went to my dentist and he actually said it was an allergic reaction, probably to something I ate or a new type of toothpaste. In your case, bacteria could have gotten on your retainer. The best thing for you to do is to soak your retainer in a little mouthwash and rinse it off with water just before putting it in. My doctor told me to use Crest mouthwash, and it cleared it up in about a week.

it could be infection or an undeveloped absess... go to the doctor or dentist
