A Gummy Smile

For those who feel they have a “gummy” smile, too much of their gum line shows when they smile. This results in the teeth looking short and an excessive amount of gums showing. Some feel a gummy smile is very unattractive.

Receding Gums

Receding gums can cause too much of the teeth to show, resulting in an unnatural looking smile. While receding gums is a cosmetic issue, it also is a health issue. When the gums move back from the tooth and recede, it can increase the sensitivity of the tooth and might be a sign of gum disease.

Gum Pigmentation

Some gums get too much melanin, resulting in the gums changing color and becoming very dark.

What Causes Cosmetic Gum Issues?

High or low gums can be caused by a number of different issues. The primary reason for gums that cover a large portion of the teeth is genetics. Low gums may simply be passed down to you from your parents, but it also can be caused by health issues or some prescription drugs.

Gums that expose a large portion of the teeth are usually caused by gum recession, which is where the gum tissue pulls back from the tooth to expose the root of the tooth. Gum recession is a serious issue, as it can cause tooth decay and eventually tooth loss. Gum recession can also be a sign of gum disease.
