I Noticed My Sons Upper Gums Are Very Dark Around The Front. Could You Tell Me What Is Causing This?
Q.
Hello Andrew. I hope you can quickly help me. I noticed my sons upper gums today they are not a normal red pink colour and are very dark around the front only. He is 11 years old and brushes regularly. He has a healthy balanced diet and doesn’t smoke as he is very young and I am sure of this. Could you possibly tell me what is causing this? I am very concerned. Does he need to see the dentist every six months? His dentist is very satisfied. Thank you in advance for your time, I look forward to hearing your reply.

Hello and thank you for your enquiry. It is difficult to say without seeing him in person. It sounds like it could be localised gum inflammation, you should ask your local dentist to check it out as soon as possible. This should help with your piece of mind. Your son should go for check-ups fairly regularly to keep this under control. I hope this helps and if you require further information you will be able to find it right here on this website. Kind regards, Dr Andrew Moore.
