Not all healthy gum tissue is pink. Similar to skin tone, gum color varies from person to person. Some other things, such as tobacco usage or adverse drug reactions, can also cause dark patches on the gums. Though very dark gums don’t always indicate a problem with your dental health, you should still consult your dentist if you’re interested in cosmetic treatments for them. Gum tissue contains melanin, the dark pigment that gives skin its color. The gums naturally darken due to this pigment. The mouth’s color might vary uniformly or in patches, and it can affect one or both sides. Gum melanin pigmentation is normal, and there’s no need for therapy. It is advised to contact a dentist if the darkening of the gums is not inherited as it may be an indication of an oral illness.

Gingivitis and other periodontal disorders are typically manageable with appropriate dental care and good hygiene. Necrot...

Cleaning the spaces between teeth can be challenging with just brushing. Toothbrush bristles effectively clean tooth surfaces, while mouthwashes can help dislodge particles from interdental spaces to some extent. Therefore, incorporating flossing into your oral hygiene routine is crucial. Flossing removes microbial film from tooth surfaces and gum edges, eliminating bacteria from the mouth's tiny crevices. Due to obstacles like archwires, traditional floss may not effectively clean around dental bridges, implants, or braces. Superfloss , also known as orthodontic floss, addresses these challenges. Superfloss is made of yarn-like material and consists of three components: a stiffened dental floss thread, a spongy floss made of cotton or nylon coated with wax, and a wax-coated plain dental floss thread. It's designed to thread under orthodontic appliances or restorations and efficiently dislodge particles from under them. Superfloss is recommended for brace wearers and those with...
