It may affect a localized area or the entire gum line. This condition can be caused by gum diseases, genetic factors, smoking, or trauma. Discoloration is not always dangerous and is often treatable. However, for an accurate diagnosis and reliable treatment, consulting a dentist is essential. This allows the root cause to be identified and the treatment plan to be tailored accordingly.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_74 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#What_Is_Gum_Discoloration\" >What Is Gum Discoloration?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#What_Causes_Gum_Discoloration\" >What Causes Gum Discoloration?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#Gum_Discoloration_in_Babies\" >Gum Discoloration in Babies<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#Gum_Discoloration_in_Children\" >Gum Discoloration in Children<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#How_to_Treat_Gum_Discoloration\" >How to Treat Gum Discoloration?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#Home_Remedies_for_Gum_Discoloration\" >Home Remedies for Gum Discoloration<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#How_to_Prevent_Gum_Discoloration\" >How to Prevent Gum Discoloration<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/dentakademiglobal.com\/zh\/gum-discoloration\/#Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Gum_Discoloration\" >Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Discoloration<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_Gum_Discoloration\"><\/span>What Is Gum Discoloration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>Gum discoloration occurs when the gums lose their natural pink tone and turn bluish, purplish, or dark brown.
