A gum biopsy is a medical procedure in which a doctor removes a sample of tissue from your gums. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. A gum biopsy is also called a gingival biopsy because gingiva is another word for gums. The gingival tissue is the tissue that immediately surrounds and supports your teeth. Doctors use a gum biopsy to diagnose causes of abnormal gum tissue. These causes can include oral cancer and noncancerous growths or lesions.
