Before I use to see my gums as dark red. But after getting a dental clean up, and consistently brushing my teeth thoroughly and regularly, my gums have turned into the colour light pink.
So is that healthy? Or does that even mean anything?
Do the colour of the gums in the mouth indicate a state of condition? Ex, if its purple then its unhealthy, if its red then its moderate, etc.

NORMAL HEALTHY GUMS ARE ALWAYS A LIGHT CORAL PINK COLOR. WITH THE ONSET OF INFLAMMATION THEY WOULD BECOME REDDISH IN COLOR

Color pigment will vary from light to moderate pink depending on your nationality for healthy gums. When it is severely red, it means your gums is inflamed. I have never seen gum tissue in white unless they have some type of lesion on them.

As long as they are not white I believe they are fine. If something was wrong im sure the dentist would have told you about it when they checked you. Also if your gums bleed while you were getting work done or checked on by the dentist that could explain it too.
