Gums: I would start with your dentist. He or she can determine if you need referral to a periodontist.

Excision: You've used a clinical term which suggests you have already consulted a professional. This condition may be dental or skeletal. Depending on which one it is, will determine treatment options. An oral surgeon can reposition the jaw if that's needed, or a periodontist can remove the excess tissue. It's critical to know why you have this excess tissue.
