is this a healthy gum color/texture/shape?

hello! i am very worried about the color of my gums because they appear to always be a bit red and it’s not going away. but they are not puffy or tender when brushing. they don’t bleed when i floss and i floss, mouthwash, brush (in that order) every single night! i think i mouth breath but i am not sure if its advised to mouth tape.

F21 here - for context i have been rather consistent with dental care for the past couple years but within the last year or so i felt like i was noticing some recession on the bottom of my teeth. i have recently gone back to the dentist after around 2 years. i asked when i was there if i had bone loss and they said no + did not mention periodontal disease but i am so worried! i noticed these black triangles on my bottom front row recently and am so worried sick that i can hardly sleep because i have terrible dental anxiety. i floss with cocofloss, use mouthwash and brush with a soft bristle brush every night but i am worried they will get worse and my teeth will be ruined.
