Why Do Gums Turn Dark?
Understanding the cause helps set realistic expectations for treatment.
Melanin Pigmentation
The most common cause — naturally higher melanin production in gum tissue, similar to skin tone variation. Purely cosmetic, not a sign of disease.
Smoking-Related Pigmentation
Tobacco use can darken gum tissue over time. Quitting helps prevent further pigmentation, though existing dark patches usually need laser treatment to lighten.
Certain Medications
Some medications, including certain antimalarials and hormonal treatments, can cause gum pigmentation as a side effect.
Genetic / Ethnic Factors
Pigmentation is more common in people with naturally darker skin tones and can run in families — entirely normal and treatable if you would prefer a uniformly pink smile.
Gum Depigmentation — Common Questions
Results typically last several years. In patients with darker skin tones, gradual repigmentation can occur. A maintenance touch-up is straightforward.
With topical anaesthetic, most patients report feeling minimal discomfort — mild pressure or warmth. Post-procedure soreness is comparable to mild gum sensitivity for 2–3 days.
