Health Gum Tissue and Charm Smile

Healthy gum tissue has specific characteristics. The color of normal gum tissue can vary, but it is typically coral pink or a darker hue within this pigmentation (variations in pigment are relative to your cultural background). Healthy gum tissue is not inflamed, and therefore feels snug and natural around your teeth. The shape of gum tissue typically looks knife-edged or pyramidal, and follows a curved line around the tooth. Normal gum tissue generally has a firm texture and may or may not have a stippled appearance on the outer gum – like the outside of an orange. Lastly, there is no spontaneous bleeding with healthy gums.
