WHAT DOES GUM COLOR SAY ABOUT YOUR HEALTH?

The color of your gums can be an indicator of oral health. Generally, healthy gums have a pale pink or coral color and are firm to the touch. If your gums are a bright red color, inflamed, or bleed easily when brushing your teeth or flossing, it may be a sign of periodontal disease, which is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and tissues that hold the teeth in place.


Gum color can also be an indicator of other health problems. For example, pale gums can be a sign of anemia or an iron deficiency. Blue or purple gums can be a sign of a lack of oxygen in the blood, which can be caused by respiratory or cardiac problems.


It's important to consult a dentist or healthcare professional if you notice any changes in the color or appearance of your gums to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.
