My bottom gum has come away from my two middle teeth! I'm so worried that my teeth are going to fall out,they are not wobbly. Any advice (especially about finding an nhs dentist!)

No i'm not pregnant now but dd4 is only 10 months and there was only 3 months between giving birth to dd3 and then being pregnant again with dd4 which could maybe be a factor.
