What Causes Pink Indentation On The Gums?

Hi, my boyfriend has this darker pink indentation on his upper gums, right over the teeth, with no real pain or nori ability accept sight. I've been trying to look it up but nothing really matches what he has. He also has these little patches of milky white that also deal no pain or anything. Thank you!

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

Pinkish gums could be because of excessive blood supply, pigmentation, thickness of the gingiva, if there is no pain you need not to worry.
For peace of mind you can take him to Dentist and get a checkup done.

Take care!
Dr Ammara.
