Redness in gums (Masude).
My wife was suffering from gums bleeding and pain of front upper 5-6 teeth. She took many medicine from chemist but when it won't work we visited a dentist & after examination Doctor suggested for laser treatment of her teeth & gums and she gone through the treatment as suggested. After treatment(in February-2019)problem reduced to large scale but GUMS ABOVE UPPER 5-6 FRONT TEETH REMAINS RED AND PAINFUL. She took medicine as per the same dentist advice for continuous 3 month but as long as medicine continues it didn't pain & redness also fade. After stopping medicine for nearly 2 month it again becomes dark red and also start paining. Then we consult a medicine doctor and she advised that it will go by its own and need not to worry. But around Oct.-2019 the problem grows and we consult another dentist and we had his medication till 15March-2020. Again problem minimises but it remains red though pain was gone. After that we could not visit any dentist.
Now, again it's red and paining.

Consult a periodontist only,
Recurrence of same problem may be due to two reasons, either dentist was not able to remove all debris, deposits or calculus completely from the underlying gums region, or you have not maintained the proper oral hygiene.
A periodontist is a gum specialist who has vast knowledge and experience of treating such cases with their specific instruments which a general dentist usually don't have
Visit a periodontist and get rid of your problem.
And remember , most important is maintainece phase by patient himself , if patient is not following proper oral hygiene then problem may reoccur.
Ask your dentist about water flosser.
Good luck and best wishes.
Hope it helps you.

Hello , as per your history and image provided one thing is clear that final diagnosis has not been achieved and only temporary symptomatic treatment has been done.
It would be appropriate for you to first approach an oral diagnostician who are expertise in managing these than relying on temporary measures.
Till that time you may try for better oral hygiene.
Next Steps
You can opt for detailed consultation preferably video consultation with me. Prior phone appointment mandatory.
Health Tips

As per the picture we can see that she has got stains and calculus around her teeth, which is the main reason for her redness.
You need a proper scaling (cleaning) of teeth.
You can use chlorhexidine mouthwash to rinse twice daily(mix it in water in 1:1 ratio)
Apply metrogyl DG gel over your gums twice daily for 15mins and rinse.
