Why is my temporary 2 front teeth getting black on my gum line

Q. Hello Dr.Caplan, At this time I have temporary veneers. My question is why is my temporary 2 front teeth getting black on my teeth where my gum line meet?

A. The gum sometimes bleeds around the neck of the teeth and this causes localised discolouration because the temporary veneers are only lightly tacked in place.  This is eaily removed at the fit appointment with a mild bleaching agent.  The final veneers should be fine
