It is the part of the gingiva (gums) that is not firmly attached to the underlying bone. It creates the outer wall of the natural space between tooth and gum called the gingival sulcus. Dentists use the free gingiva as a key landmark during exams, cleanings, and many restorative procedures near the gumline."}
