Red spot above tooth help! (included pic)

[AH91]

Good morning!

This morning I noticed a red spot above my tooth, it appeared over night or possibly through out the morning of my getting ready. It is not painful, just very red and noticeable. I had not eaten anything before I noticed it this morning and I also did get sick this morning as a result of a bad migraine (not sure if its related). please help, should i go to the dentist? give it a few days? or is this something that is normal, should not worry?

TIA!! I have attached a picture.

Hello,

It could be a gum infection or a bruise on the gum due to too much force exerted when brushing. What you should do is go to the dentist for a cleaning, exam and x-rays.
