In the human body, there are multiple pigments of natural origin that give color to every part of our organism. Carotene, melanin, and hemoglobin are the main pigments that give color to the gums.
Although the pigmentation from melanin coming from your blood group, ethnicity and physiology is not really something to worry about, although in some cases it warns of periodontal disease. Visits to the dentist are highly frequent for black gums.
The depigmentation of gums is an aesthetic problem, thanks to multiple techniques and treatments that have been developed, both surgical and non-surgical. One of the most widely used techniques for this purpose is laser removal.

Reasons why gums stay black
Although this does not mean that we should assume that all periodontal diseases can run in families, as color can be a natural influence of genetics without seeing any infectious or dangerous factors. Therefore a great part of the patients do not present a periodontal disease, but a high concentration of melanin called “Melanoplakia”.
The explanation of their relationship is denoted when tartar accumulates exponentially in solid matter, near the subgingival area. As a result, the area tends to darken and affects our esthetic image.
A fairly common example of this is birth control pills, as they can change the tone of the dental mucosa, taking it to a dark or gray color.
Treatment of gingival melanosis
Microabrasion: In this technique, the dentist or periodontist will remove the main layer of the gums to be treated with a specific instrument. Removing the unsightly discoloration, and polishing it, to obtain a more natural appearance. It is a good treatment and has an effectiveness rate of 80%.
It is not very abrasive compared to the scalpel technique and causes less bleeding. Likewise, the postoperative period is quite short and easy to perform.
