Hi doctor,
I have a grayish patch above my teeth. I have attached some pictures here. Initially, there was a pink spot just above the teeth, and then it turned gray. Under my upper lip, it is dark pink or red. Is this a form of gingivitis? In the morning, I am getting brown saliva. Also, I am getting brownish froth when I brush my teeth. Why?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have seen the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- It is just some pigmentation of gums for which you need not worry as it is due to some physiological change in the epithelium of gingiva.
- The grayish area has more melanin pigmentation than usual, so it is darker in certain spots.
- Also, you have some gingivitis, which is inflammation of gums only. Use warm salt water gargle.
- The color of spit might be related to your diet, but needs to be confirmed if there is any other specific symptom.
