If you have noticed that your gums look discolored when you look in the mirror, your immediate reaction may naturally be one of concern. You may think that something is wrong with your teeth, gums or mouth and you may make an appointment to see your doctor or dentist to get checked out. This reaction is a natural one for you to have and it makes sense to get examined so you can determine if there are any physical or medical reasons for the change. There can be a number of causes for dark gum color, and you should not get discouraged if you discover you have discolored gums in Los Angeles since there is quality treatment available for you.
Reasons for Dark Gums Can Vary
The reasons for dark gum tissue can vary quite a bit. For some people, dark gums are a result of genetics and heritage. There are ethnic groups that are more prone to dark gum tissue. Dark gums can also be the result of particular medications that you may be using for other health issues you have. It is quite common for dark gum tissue to be a side effect of medication. If you are a smoker or have smoked for many years, your gum tissue may have darkened because of the tobacco use. Since there are also potential medical reasons for the discoloration, it is always a good idea to get a complete examination by a doctor, dentist or cosmetic dentist to determine the cause of the problem.
