Base Of My Teeth Are Black. Had Gastric Bypass Surgery. Am I Deficient Of Vitamins?
I noticed over the weekend a couple of my teeth are black around the base of the tooth. I'm 53 so my gums are starting to receed. I also have noticed a few other teeth with what appears to be a thin black line at the gum line. Any ideas? In addition, I had gastric bypass surgery last summer. All my blood test have shown my levels are fine but I'm wondering if perhaps I am deficient in some type of vitamin which may be causing this problem. Thank you.

Base Of My Teeth Are Black. Had Gastric Bypass Surgery. Am I Deficient Of Vitamins?
Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. Black discolouration around the neck line of the teeth is due to hard deposits like calculus and stains. I would advise you to visit your dentist once, and get it cleaned professionally. Also you can use antiseptic mouth wash for fifteen days. Meanwhile maintain very good oral hygiene. Thanks. Take care.
