Everyone worries about their teeth. Are they white enough? Are they straight enough?
What many fail to realize is that gums affect the overall appearance of the mouth just as much as your teeth. Having dark gums can be equally as off putting as a set of stained, yellow teeth.
This discoloration or tendency of having dark gums is called hyperpigmentation, and the most common cause is genetics. For that reason, people of African or Middle Eastern descent are most likely to have dark gums. With genetics at the root of the problem, what can be done?
In New York dark gums can be remedied by a procedure referred to as gum bleaching. Gum bleaching or gum pigmentation removal works by breaking up and reducing existing pigmentation.
The procedure is becoming more and more common in New York and is performed alongside cosmetic dental treatment or even gum surgery.
It is important for people to know the distinctions between dark gums and gum disease. Although one indication of gum disease is bright red, swollen gums or darker gums, it should be pretty easy to distinguish gum disease from dark gums. The absence of other telling symptoms, such as irritation and pain, makes it fairly simple to sort out.
Still, if you have any hesitation or uncertainty about whether you have dark gums or gum disease, see a dentist. Gum disease is serious and plagues more than 50 percent of adults in the United States. Not to mention adults with gum disease are twice as likely to have heart problems as well.
In New york dark gums and gum disease are treated side by side. Whether you want to improve the appearance of your mouth or treat gum disease, a trip to the clinic may be in store.
