Hi lybrate-user it's a normal thing to happen, it's known as melanin pigmentation, there is no permanent remedy for it. But yes you can get them removed by asking dentist for de-pig treatment, results last for 1 n a half.

I am pretty sure that your gums have not turned black over night. Black pigmentation of gums is because of a natural pigmentation called melanin.In addition Smoking can cause an increase in pigmentation and black appearance of gums. If you are a smoker then discontinuing this habit can result in reduction in pigmentation. However if you want to completely get rid of all the black pigmentation then there is a clinical procedure called gingival stripping. For this you would have to consult a periodontist who has experience in doing lazer gingival stripping.
