Hello sir/mam. I brush twice a day but still my gums are black n pink. The black part is looking worst. My complexion is wheatish. I consume less water I accept it. No foul smell throughout a day. Just black gums. What could be the reason and how can I get rid of it?

Hi the black part in the gum is because of the melanin pigmentation which is natural ; like color of skin. This is present in our skin too make it look dark, some people have less of it and some have more. If itz really bothering you than visit a dentist they will do a small gum surgery and get these pigmentation removed.

Black color of gums are natural color as your skin color due to melanin pigment. If you need pink color of your gums then it can be possible through surgery only.
