Are the expressions above grammatical? If you find unnatural expressions, would you correct them?
Can we use 'alveolar ridge' instead of 'gum'?

1 answer

The expressions are grammatical. "Alveolar ridge" is seldom used except by speech teachers or specialists.

The word "gum" in this context refers to the tissue that holds the teeth in place. I think you're referring to the roof of the mouth (the more common expression for alveolar ridge).
