👉 Gummoses are small, round, white dots that can appear on the surface of a liquid or solid substance. They are often associated with certain diseases and conditions, such as periodontal disease (periodontitis) and gingivitis (gingival inflammation).

Gummoes are often treated with antibiotics or other medications
