Why do my gums peel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gums peel?: If you mean, why do your gums pull away from your teeth, then you have an infection in your gums called periodontal disease. This will eventually lead to loss of bone around your teeth and then loss of your teeth. See your dentist for an examination, diagnosis and treatment.
