What is a Gummy Smile?

A gummy smile (also referred to as excessive gingival display) is when you smile, and lots of gum tissue shows above your top teeth. There isn’t a set definition of a gummy smile, and it’s not a medical issue, but it is generally considered that 2mm or more of gum on show is classed as ‘gummy’.

What Causes a Gummy Smile?

Generally, gummy smiles are not a medical issue and there isn’t anything to worry about. If you are self-conscious of your gummy smile, there are lots of treatments available that will help.
