Gum edges chronically redder

F28 prone to dental anxiety. I have these edges despite good oral hygiene (daily flossing and brushing 2 a day, every 6 months dental cleaning) last dental cleaning was 2 months ago. Hygienist said everything is ok. I wear vivera retainers (they don’t touch the gum margin but do cover some of the papilla)

One and a half year ago the periodontist told me that it looks ok, I have very healthy gums and good biotype (?) upon inspection. For years I had 2 spots (upper right canine papilla and lower left incisor) that were redder and she told me to monitor it. It feels like it spread more visibly over the years on the other margins, but those are only on the front teeth, I do not think it looks healthy. I am afraid I will get recession and no one is telling me anything about it. I would appreciate some advice
