What is "gum"?

Gums, also known as gingiva, are the soft, pink tissues that surround and support the teeth in the human body. They form a protective barrier around the tooth roots and help anchor them in place. Gums are composed of dense, fibrous tissue and contain blood vessels and nerves. Their primary functions include protecting the underlying bone and tissues, providing a seal around the teeth to prevent bacteria from entering the tooth sockets, and supporting overall oral health. Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing and flossing, is crucial for maintaining healthy gums and preventing gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
