Concern About Gum Swelling

[Liam]

Hey everyone,
I hope you're all doing well! I’m hoping someone might be able to offer some helpful advice.

As shown in the image:
⦁ The gum around two teeth appears swollen.
⦁ It's been like this for a while, but recently I’ve noticed the swelling might be spreading slightly further around the tooth it used to be more limited.
⦁ The swelling affects only part of the gum around each tooth the other half looks completely normal, as shown in the photo.
⦁ This area seems more prone to inflammation/irritation than the rest of my gums.
⦁ I don’t feel any real pain, but there is some slight discomfort. It just feels off and looks concerning.

and lastly for the 2nd pic why is the gum above so velvet red

I’m not sure if I’m reading too much into it, but I’d really appreciate any perspective on what could be happening. Thank you in advance

If you're experiencing gum swelling and redness, it could be gingivitis or early periodontitis. To help, improve your oral hygiene routine by brushing gently with a soft toothbrush, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash.

Does not look like anything to be concerned about. Bone around molars, can sometimes be thicker than around pre-molars and anterior teeth, because these teeth are mainly chewing teeth and sometimes people are bruxers as well.
Thickening of bone, does lead to a thickening or difference in appearance of the attached gingiva surrounding it.
If you have not gone for a cleaning recently, go for one.
Otherwise, don't stress.
