Several factors can contribute to excessive gum visibility, including:
Some individuals naturally have more gum tissue covering their teeth.
Teeth that are naturally short or have worn down over time can make gums appear more prominent.
If the upper lip moves too high while smiling, it can expose more of the gums.
An overgrowth of the upper jaw can push the gums downward, creating a gummy smile.
Poor oral hygiene or conditions like gingivitis can cause swollen gums, making them more visible.
While some causes of a gummy smile are genetic and cannot be prevented, you can take steps to maintain healthy gums and minimize gum exposure:
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Floss daily to prevent gum inflammation.
Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings.
If you notice excessive gum tissue growth, consult a dentist for early intervention.
Avoid habits that can irritate gums, like aggressive brushing.
If a gummy smile is caused by jaw alignment issues, early orthodontic evaluation (especially in children) can help manage its development.
If a gummy smile affects your confidence, several treatments can help:
A minor surgical procedure where excess gum tissue is removed to reveal more of the teeth.
Helps relax an overactive upper lip, reducing gum exposure while smiling.
Braces or aligners can reposition teeth and jaws to create a more balanced smile.
Adjusts the position of the upper lip to reduce excessive gum exposure.
In severe cases, surgical correction of jaw alignment may be required.
A gummy smile can be improved with proper dental care, lifestyle changes, or professional treatments. If you’re concerned about excessive gum exposure, consult Radhe Multispeciality Dental Clinic & Implant Center for expert guidance and customized treatment options. A confident, balanced smile is just a step away!
