Hello, black gums could be because of smoking or pigmentation. Get it checked from the dentist. If it is because of pigmentation, by electro-cautery (surgical procedure) gums can be made pink again.

Visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

Smoking accelerates the skin's aging process, causing wrinkles. One reason for this is nicotine. Reduced blood flow and exposure to tar and nicotine can also cause the melanin in your lips and gums to darken. Lemon juice has bleaching properties which help to regulate the melanin production in the skin. Let's discuss your problem in detail for better advice.
