What treatment I need for my black gums to become pink

Q. My question is that i have always had dark gums but however they have got more dark.i have since then quit smoking .what i need is treatment for my black gums to become pink as im getting married soon. can you please help me .

A. Hi
sometimes the gums can naturally change colour due to pigmentation which is difficult to do anything about.
howver they can be more inflamed and increasingly dark if there is gum disease or inflammation. the fact that you have quit smoking is letting the damage caused by smoking become apparent as your bodies natural immune defence which is suppressed by smoking kicks back in and makes you aware of the damage of smoking.
i would advise a check up and if there is a large amount of bacterial buld up or gum disease a hygienist session or appropriae treatment
