2. People with whiter skin color may also appear light pink. If the skin color is dark and the blood circulation is not enough, the gums will be dull or dark red, which is not a sign of unhealthy teeth.

3. Whether the teeth are healthy is not judged by the color of the gums. To judge whether a person's teeth are healthy, it is mainly to observe the health of the roots and gums.

If there is any sensitivity or caries in the periodontal position, it proves that the teeth are basically up to standard.
You don't have to worry too much about the color and texture of your gums. As long as the gums belong to the healthy category and there is no atrophy or abscess, this is normal gums and healthy gums. The gums are purple, and even when pressed, there will be some slight pain, which should be noted, because it is likely that there is inflammation in the pulp cavity or cysts in the gums.

Common causes of gingival blackening in patients include:

3, malignant melanoma: the patient's gums are locally black, which needs to be diagnosed and surgically removed.
