Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone has any tips as to fixing a gummy smile (without surgery)? My smile shows more gums than teeth which is a bit frustrating.

I think flossing can have a small effect

Well Caitlin. Unfortunately besides surgery there's not much you can do. My father is a dentist and I too have a very gummy smile that he rarely fails to point out lol. He went so far as to create an image of what my smile would look like after surgery. But I haven't gotten it and have been more comfortable with my gumminess.

Gently massage your gums when you brush your teeth.

@JackieS I did read up about dental surgery for it. I too have someone who points out my gummy smile all the time which can be so frustrating! Apparently another option is Botox of the upper lip which can have some rather odd results.

@LakenelizabethhG & DisireeeH you both are so absolute sweet! I needed that boost, thank you ❤
