Please don't freak out, if your skin color is dark, your gums are usually going to be black, well not exactly black but very dark brown.... you are not the only one in this world..... start looking around and you'll notice that most dark skin people has very dark gums.... is natural.

The tree comes from Mississippi.
Black mouth gums come from genetics or eating some foods like black licorice or maybe from the plague.

It is the normal pigment in the gum tissue which is common in black or people of ethnic decent. Usually cancer is a concern when there is a bright red, white or blue lesion.
Hope that helps!

It could be smoking, genetic, environmental toxins, or perhaps a periodontal disease.
