When too much melanin builds up in the gums, it can cause them to look dark or black rather than pink, which is a condition known as natural hyperpigmentation of the gingival tissue. Smoking, unwanted effects from some drugs, and possibly amalgam fillings are among factors that can contribute to dark gums.
No illness or dysfunction is indicated by the additional pigment. Patients seek treatment because they prefer pink gums since they better show off their teeth.
Within two weeks, full recovery is anticipated, and patients can anticipate being able to speak and eat normally immediately following the procedure. The duration of a gum de-pigmentation procedure can vary depending on the patient’s lifestyle.
