I don't brush my teeth as often as I am supposed to and 2 seconds ago I pulled my bottom lip down to expose my gum and on the very bottom (I'm guessing it's where the gum meets the lip tissue or something) there is a thick line of a darker color from one side of my teeth to the other. This freaked me out so I checked the top as well, and sure enough, same thing. I dont know how long it has been there but does anyone else have this on thier gums? Should I consult my dentist? I'm scared it might be gingivitis! Help!
