Blackened gums
I have been smoking since 3 years. Noticed blackness in my gums two days ago and quit smoking since then. Do you think I have cancer? Can there be any easy remedy to treat my blackened gums?

Hello clearly it's not cancer it's hyper pigmentation due to heavy smoking, first treatment would be quit smoking then u can go for laser depigmentation and slowly ur gingiva will cum to its normal color go for gingival massage with finger it will increase the blood flow and so the healing will be accelerated
