A. Children sometimes develop dark gums due to an eruption hematoma. This can happen when either a baby or permanent tooth is about to come in. This creates a cyst filled with fluid, and if there's blood in the fluid, that darkens the gum. The blood is typically present when an impact injures the eruption cyst.
