Well black gums are due to melanin pigmentation on the gums .which can be treated by surgical treatment .the swelling around your molar teeth cud be due to gum disease or even sometimes due to caries .just visit a dentist and get it checked .i can be much sure if I look a picture of your oral cavity.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The most concerning reason why you might have a black spot on your tooth is tooth decay. Tooth decay occurs when plaque and tartar accumulate on the teeth, allowing sugar, bacteria, and acid to cling to the teeth and eat away at the tooth's enamel and its mineral structure. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Google always says cancer. Google gives you one of the possibility. Anyways black spot could be due to 1. Caries 2. Stains (fluorosis stain) regarding swelling on your right side second molar that could be due to -third molar erupting -caries infection -gum related for better understanding send your pictures then will be able to guide better. Good that you are conscious about the oral hygiene and congrats for not smoking or not having alcohol you are safe from lot of serious oral problems including oral cancer. Kudos to you.
