If you have uneven or gums that lie too low, you are not alone. We have different gum lines, some are high and others low. How high the gum line is mostly influenced by genetics, but we have cases where gum disease is the cause. Regardless of the cause of the imperfect gum lines, one thing is clear, they damage your smile. And, they can expose the roots of the teeth and trigger decay. Fortunately, with gum contouring, you can reshape your gums and restore the health of your teeth.

We all have different gum lines; some are high and others low or uneven. The gum positioning is not a dental problem unless it is caused by decay. However, it may cause you to be conscious of your smile. If you want to change the shape of your teeth, then you are a candidate for gum contouring.

Just like other body parts, the mouth too is subject to occasional accidents. Sometimes, the injury is minor, such as when you bite the tongue, and may not require an urgent care dentist. When the problem is severe, though, such as you sustaining a breakage on the tooth that leads to bleeding, it can cause serious effects that will need immediate dental care.

Dentists are indeed protectors of your teeth. However, they often confront situations beyond their control and require them to suggest tooth extractions even from healthy mouths. For example, teenagers often approach them with wisdom teeth that have either emerged at an angle or are entirely impacted and lying below the gum line. In such cases, dentists have little option but to recommend tooth extraction to ensure the safety of the teenager's oral health.
