Hi
I had good pink color gums once.. but I met with an accident 4-5 years ago.I broke my 4 front teeths,so I did root canal and capped my teeth.But soon the nearby gums started changing color.So can anyone plzz help me out to recover the color of the gums.Thanks

U can get a procedure called depigmentation done from a qualified periodontist.

Dr Ameet BDS, MDS

I am an african american and was recently treated for this---its common if you have darker skin to have pigmented gums...

You you should contact a specialist who can help treat your dark gums... dentists / gum specialists / periodontists can help but most of them don't treat pigmented gums... so I looked extensively for someone that specializes in treating pigmented and dark gums... in the end I had my gums treated by Dr Farnoosh in beverly hills, Ca. This really helped me feel more comfortable smiling... he basically invented the procedure and was published extensively for it... I liked him he was very compassionate and it didn't hurt at all. He treats lots of celebrities in beverly hills...

I have dark gums, a darker tongue than most and my lips went dark too! p.s. I'm not a smoker. I didn't think it was a problem. (I think I actually look prettier! )

Hi,
My gums are dark brown by birth.but how to turn my black gums to pink.I looks ugly when I laughed.suggest the home remedies or any treatment.Thanks

skghousai,
Did you happen to read simonellis1964 reply in this thread?? I think your answer is there.

I have always had dark blotches on my gums which I felt always made me less pretty when I smiled, after reading about the gum lightening procedure here I flew from Atlanta to LA and saw Dr. Farnoosh to have the treatment. The blotches on my gums are now a more natural pink color. I am very happy I selected this treatment and Dr Farnoosh was very kind. I thought I would share... Thanks for everyone's posts.

If anyone wants to see my before and after -- here is my case:

msalisona,

The results are GREAT! Thanks for sharing your before and after pics!

Hi, without doing depigmentation any substitude treatment is there or any medication

Regular massage of cocunut oil with 2 drops of lemon juice for 10days 3-4 times a day helps reduce darkness in gums...

OMD!! Look its easy! Right first you get your tooth brush. Wash it (No soap just leave it under some water) Then you get your tooth paste. Aply it to your tooth brush. Then brush your teeth. Do this every day for a month and your gums should be getting pinker. If not then youve got something wrong with your gums and go to a Dentist.

Dr. Farnoosh a gum specialist in Beverly Hills Ca schedule an appointment with him if you just try some home remedies massage of cocunut oil with 2 drops of lemon juice for 10 days 3-4 times a day or almond oil with yogurt and lemon this helps gums and gets skin white

Help! Swimsuit model just started habitually smoking after the death of love one. MY famous smile is gone. I took a family photo and was shocked and horrified at the severe damage that was done. My gums are completely and utterly black.

You could try rubbing lemon and hot sauce on your gums before you go to sleep. It workes for me and I'm not african or a amoker I'm Caucasian and it works great my gums were black and then I tried this and now my gums are pretty and pink!! The lemon has natraul bleaching citrus acids and the hot sauce opens the gum pores so fhe acids can enter.
