GUM Treatment

Gummy Smiles Can Be Caused by a Variety of Dental and Gum Problems, Including:

• Teeth size and form.
• The amount of gum tissue that is visible.
• Length of the upper lip.

Your gum tissue acts as a framing for your teeth, giving them form and shape. The dreaded "gummy smile" occurs when too much gum is visible when you smile. This could be a disorder you've always had or one that develops as you get older, sometimes described as 'long in the tooth.' In a third scenario, you may be losing gum tissue as a result of dental disease.
