A member asked:
I had extensive gingivectomy for some root canals for three of my bottom molars a couple years ago. noticed the other day that the gums look a bit pale pink. still pink but not the same type of pink as other areas. is this due to the surgery?

Possibly: Extensive surgery may have altered the blood flow to that area. Are you still under the care of the periodontist/endodontist who performed the surgery? It may be time for a visit to determine your gingival health.

YES: YOUR GUMS HAVE A HEALTHY COLOR OF PINK FROM THE SURGERY AND YOU MAINTAINING GOOD ORAL HYGIENE. YOUR OTHER GUMS ARE PROBABLY A REDDISH COLOR WHICH IS A SIGN OF INFLAMATION THATS WHY YOU HAD THE SURGERY ON THE OTHER TEETH. YOU MUST MAINTAIN GOOD ORAL HYGIENE ON ALL OF YOUR MOUTH SO THAT YOUR GUMS ALL HAVE THE SAME LIGHT PINK COLOR.
