Yes...but the black gums are common its usually compliments your skin clolor. I want to know whether its looking odd while smiling...if its the issue then we have to decide the treatment plan after examining your condition. Because it might be due to gummy smile or some malalignment of your teeth which is making your black gums visible. So kindly get a consult.

The most recent technique available is the use of laser to slightly remove the darkened part of your gums. The cost varies depending upon the area which needs depigmentation and the procedure being undertaken.
