What Causes Black Gum Line?

I am very concerned about my teeth turning black at the gum line. It also looks like they are eroding in the same area. I have recently been diagnosed with sugar diabetes. I also suffer from major depressive disorder and have Fibromyalgia. Why is this happening to my teeth?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have painful gums and teeth are black at cervical region dont worry it can be due to cervical abrasion , or deposition of stains and calculus at cervical region .

For this you should consult dentist and go for Restoration of tooth or if it is stains and calculus then go for Scaling andmroot planning.

Hope this will help you.
