My bottom gums behind my teeth are turning black. Could it be cancerous? My teeth arent in the best shape, but I brush daily. It seemed to have happened over a period of maybe nine or ten months. I smoke occasionally but not excessively, so it couldnt possibly produce such a dramatic effect over such a short time can it?
Hi, Thanks for posting the query, No this could not be a sign of cancer, it is associated with prolong use of tobacco chewing. This could be due to smoking or melanin pigmentation. I would suggest you to get a thorough checkup done, also get complete mouth scaling and polishing done. Take multivitamin supplements. Take care!
