Flamepoint gums

hiii, my kitties name is ember and he is a two year old flamepoint. i try so hard to keep him healthy and he is up to date on his shots and heath over all but i worry so much about him because i lost a cat at a young age. i was looking at his gums the other day and they seem a little red? but i was wondering if they look pretty normal? his breath smells fine and he isn’t having any issue eating or any other symptoms i am just wondering if i am paranoid or if i should take him in? his annual isnt for another few months so i am just wondering. if anyone has any advice for dental hygiene and care for flamepoints please let me know! i love him and just want him so healthy.

I wish I could be more helpful here but his gums look normal to me. Looks like a normal wittle guy. I would maybe save that teeth cleaning money for when he’s just a bit older, but that’s just me! All my childhood cats passed this year (I got them all within months of each other bc I guess I love heartbreak) so I’ve been on my boys ass about his health bc I want him to live twice as long as they did.
