Why does your tooth look like gums are coming through it?

The appearance of gums growing through a tooth is not a medically accurate description. Gums surround and support the teeth but cannot grow through them. If you observe gum-like tissue over teeth, or have concerns about your oral health, it's best to consult a dentist for a proper diagnosis. Dental professionals can accurately assess gum-related issues and provide appropriate treatment plans. Self-diagnosis based on descriptions from non-healthcare sources may lead to inaccurate conclusions and can delay seeking appropriate dental care.
