Hello. I will like opinion from anyone who has experience on this. Will like to get an opinion.

My gum has never been well. I visit the dentist every 6 months to try to get it better but I'm not sure if it's genetic since my grandma and mom has the same issue. The dentist is also trying to clean my teeth as best as he can.

But 2 years ago, my one tooth started to protrude like the picture below.

Back then my dentist said that I can do braces if my gum is better but 3 weeks back, my gum started to swell on that tooth so the dentist suggested to extract it and paste it back between my two teeth (not sure what's the procedure). He thought that it was because of my tooth infecting the gum. But then the next week after that, the other side of my gum is inflamed as well.

So now I'm having second thought about getting my tooth extracted since I think it's not related to the tooth being infected. I hope someone can give me an opinion if I should extract it or just try to have the braces later.

Not sure it will work.
Try cleaning your teeth each time after meal.
You should be able to differentiate it in 2 weeks.
