What does it mean if i don't have keratin in my gums?

Bone loss: The roots of teeth are surrounded by a “collar” of tough, thick gum tissue known as keratinized gingiva. Keratinized gingiva is pink & has keratin, a major component of hair, skin, & nails & contributes to their “toughness”. Keratinized gingiva is firm, attached, immobile & constitutes the soft tissue support for teeth. No keratin = is no attached gum support for teeth = bone loss. See dentist!

Keratinized tissue: Most dentists talk about keratinized tissue as the tissue that helps protect your teeth. A thicker zone or width of keratinized tissue, makes the tissues more stable to avoid trauma or inflammation! thin zones, of this type of tissue, will result in recession and bone loss with trauma or inflammation!
