What Does Red Spots On Gum Indicate?

Hello. I have seven tiny red dots on my gum above two of my teeth. I had a dental check up a couple months ago and everything was fine. They don't bleed, but do hurt when I brush them. Is this something I should be worried about? I am 30 years old, nonsmoker, nondrinker, not overweight. Thanks!

Hello!Gone through your query.
You did not mention if you are taking any other medication. This can be a irritated oral mucosa due to several reasons.
A new tooth paste or brush, new mouthwash or sprays.
Take bcomplex and folic acid.
A old denture can be causing this.
make changes in the above reasons. You must visit your doctor if they spread or pain arises.
Regards.
