I have very small teeth and was thinkingof getting something done about because im very concious when i smile or laugh but my friend suggested that i might have too much gum and i could get it removed, could that be the problem and if so is there a precedure i can get?

Cosmetic dentistry involves not only the teeth, but the soft tissues.  A part of cosmetic restoration often involves reshaping or treating the gum tissue.  You should have a comprehensive exam that looks at any possible periodontal issues as well as the cosmetics of the level of the soft tissue.  It can dramatically change the look of the smile.
