Gums below incisors and canines are turning dark with pain post wisdom tooth surgery. Why?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Please do not worry. This is melanotic pigmentation caused due to the deposition of melanin. It is not a pathology and had nothing to do with extraction. However, esthetically if it irritates you, it has a surgical treatment called de-pigmentation done by scalpel, laser, or electrocautery (scalpel method is least expensive).

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is normal. Actually, if you can see the picture, you can see areas below black pigmentation that depict occlusal load. So pain is not due to pigmentation. It is due to the occlusal load. Do not worry. Also, one of your teeth has an exposed root. I am prescribing a desensitizing paste, apply over the anteriors for a month and then tell me if there any improvement.
