Like our skin, hair color the color of gums may also vary from person to person. Dark coloration may be due to melanin pigmentation. Don't worry its normal.

Having a black colour skin is not a disease, over the face or in side the mouth. Cosmetic advertisement on TV makes us think that way. Having a black pigments actually keeps u away from diseases. Take your child to a an oral diagnostician (OMR) He or she will tell u if those pigments are normal or diseased.

Posting a clinical picture would have been more helpful.... considering his age, this is most likely a non pathological condition wherein the amount of melanin in the gum tissue is more in some patients..... it is nothing to be worried or treated.... Regards....
