Black gums?

Hi. I was wondering about my black gums. Now I figured that most Black ppl have black around their gums as well as pink, cuz of the pigmentation in our skin, but my mom is DARKER than I am (I'm light-skinned) and her gums are all pink.


So are my gums a little black at the top, because of lack of brushing? It's true that I don't brush my gums as I should, because I'm kinda fearful of making them sore, but I heard u have to brush ur gums as well.


So is this true? O_o

i asked my dentist it i could get them fixed, but she told me it was perfectly normal to have black gums...thats just how the your gums are
Reply:Black gums are normal but yes you should still brush your gums, just don't do it too hard.





You need to brush them to remove extra plaque and swelling which can help prevent you from getting gingivitis or any other oral disease.
Reply:brush your gums! and floss. it will bleed a little and hurt only the first one or two days. after a week you will feel nothing. just lightly brush on top of your gums, don't scrub them or anything....it's like a cleansing massage.
