Large Gums
Overgrown gums can be associated with hypertrichosis in some cases. Medically known as gingival hyperplasia, it occurs when the gum tissue in the mouth grows more than normal. When this is due to a hereditary condition, the gums may grow over the teeth. This can cause the teeth to be displaced or impacted.
Gingival hyperplasia may occur in people who have congenital hypertrichosis terminalis, or thick, long dark hair all over the body.5Staff, SBI. ‘Gingival Enlargement.’ The American Academy of Oral Medicine, www.aaom.com/index.php?option=com/content&view=article&id=132:gingival-enlargement&catid=22:patient-condition-information&Itemid=120
