In the past, you were always the first one ready to smile for the camera and get your picture taken. Recently, however, your approach to picture-taking has changed drastically. You now hide from the cameras and spurn every opportunity to get your picture taken. What has changed? The way that you see your smile and gums has made a big difference to you. You see that your gums have a dark pigment to them all the time now and you are growing concerned. Not only do you smile much less and feel self-conscious but you also worry about your dental health. You may wonder just what can cause black gums to occur and what you can do about it.
Different Causes of the Problem
A darker pigment to your gum tissue can happen for several reasons. Many people that experience gums like this have the darker color because of genetics. Gum color is hereditary and certain ethnic backgrounds are more prone to darker gum colors. You may also have darker gums because of medication that you have recently started taking. Several prescription medications have dark gums as a potential side effect of taking the medicine. In certain cases, drastic cases of gingivitis or periodontal disease can be the cause of darker gums. To determine what the true cause may be for you, it is best for you to see a qualified periodontist for an evaluation.
What You Can Do
Once your periodontist helps you determine the cause of your black gums, you can then move forward to address the problem properly.
