Consult your dentist: The gums should normally be a pinkish-red color. There are a number of things that can result in white lines on your gums. Regardless, it is important that if you see white spots on your gums you consult your dentist.

Vague: Does the area bleed? Is there discomfort? Has the area been that way for a while? I would have it checked.
