Gum tissue may sometimes overgrow which causes discomfort to some people. Added to that, individuals with excess gingival display (also known as gummy smile) think that their smile looks unattractive.
On the other hand, the mouth’s soft tissue may be subject to a periodontitis, which is a severe gum disease. The latter requires gum removal surgery.
