What causes the dark Colours of Gums?

Naturally the people with western origin have gums in light colour and those belonging to the eastern region have slightly dark pink coloured gums but many a times gum turn dark in colour and take various hues of black, brown, red and even blue. This is called gum pigmentation and it gives an unpleasant and unhealthy appearance to the gums. The main causes of gum pigmentation include:

  • Genetics or hereditary. Excess melanin pigment builds up making the gums look brown or black instead of pink. This does not indicate any disease or dysfunction.
  • Smoking is the second most common cause of gum pigmentation. It causes the gums to turn a shade of blue.
  • Side effects of certain medications
  • Dental filling materials like amalgam effect the colour of gums.
  • Drug poisoning
  • Underlying systemic conditions like Addison's disease can also cause the gums to change colour.

One should always be vigilant about the colour of their gums. It helps diagnose a disease in early stages and helps in successful treatment.
