Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you hqve black spot on gum yes it can be due to infection in gum or due to infection in tooth at periapical region .

For this you should consult dentist and go for investigations IOPAxray if you have periapical infection then go for Root canal treatment and if have infection in Gums then go for Scaling and currettage .

Go for treatment , if you dont want treatment this time then go for antibiotics course.

Hope this will help you.
