Healthy Teeth
What Do Healthy Teeth Look Like?
- A child's teeth are a creamy white, while adult teeth have a yellow tint.
- No plaque should be present along the gum line.
- No variation in color or roughness of the tooth enamel (e.g., no white or brown spots).
- Gums should be shiny and pink with no recession of the gum away from the tooth enamel exposing the root.
