How advanced does my gingivitis appear at a glance? Are those brighter spots up top gum recession?

The Missing front teeth is a hereditary thing. I have some pretty intense pain in the upper corner teeth. Have noticed some asymmetrical gaps using my tongue. do I appear to be nearing permanent gum disease?

Good day

The pictures are a bit unclear. The best would be to go see your regular dentist for an evaluation, to see if there are any signs of gingivitis or tooth wear such as erosion etc.
They would also take an x-ray to evaluate the underlying tooth structure.
