I am a smoker and my gums look awful is there any solution to restore the colour

Q. I am a smoker and my gums look awful now! They’ve gone quite dark in areas and I’m very conscious of them especially when smiling. Is there any solution to restoring the colour, be it treatment or surgery?

A. Gums turning dark can actually be a natural pigmentation you should go see your dentist and have them checked to make sure they are healthy.
