A member asked:

I'm wondering why are part of my gums bright yellow?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

See a dentist: I can not think of a reason why your gums are yellow. They have lots of blood vessels and should be a shade of red. If you have very thick bone pushing and thinning the gums out they might appear to be less red.

Plaque/deposits: Could deposits on your teeth. No matter, see a dentist to check out your current condition. Don't wait.
