Hello Black gums are a result of normal pigmentation. You can get back your pink gums by undergoing a minor surgical procedure which will strip the outer layer of your gums where the pigmentation cells are located. The procedure may be done by traditional surgery or by laser.

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.
