#AskTheExpert Good morning Doctor.. my daughter age is 5 yrs and she have some problem in gums. Since some months around 2 months her gums became brownish and i affair about it will not become black. pl suggest for this..

A. Dark gums can appear in anyone, of any age. If you have dark gums, there's a good chance your child will have them too. That's because the most common cause of black gums in children is heredity and ethnicity. If they have a lot of melanin in their skin, that melanin could appear in their gums as dark spots
