What causes this white patch around tooth/gumline?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things, so:: See your dentist. White patches in the guns can be normal or caused by trauma from abrasion, chemical or thermal burn, infection, inflammation, cystic change or cancer. See your dentist for any "oddity" that lasts more than 3 days. Good luck!
