Black stain on the edges
Hi! I just noticed I have black stains on the edges of my lower jaw incisors. What could be the possible reason and how do I rectify it? Also, the gums of those teeth have been paining since last night.
Thank you!

The black stains might also be present in the other areas, however may not be evident to you as the lower incisors. Night pain also indicates deep carious lesions causing an abscess in the root tip region. Would require radiographs to rule out the same.
Next Steps
Kindly visit a nearby dentist to get the problem soughted at the right time.

Hello Ma'am
Greetings of the day. For the stains you can visit the dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. The gum pain will be rectified after the scaling is done. In the meantime warm saline gargles several times a day can be done to relieve the pain.
