Anyone know what's up with my gums? It's darker than the rest of my gums. I noticed it a few days ago. It's not bleeding, it doesn't hurt, I don't think the area is swollen. I brush my teeth at least once a day.

I'm not a doctor, but I'm gonna guess it's cancer.

You should've tried something more convincing.

Oral cancer is NOT a joke, visit an actual doctor.

Get some overpriced mouthwash, bonus points if it's a GSK product.
Contact a dentist or hygienist if it actually gives you any trouble.

Gangrene
it's gingivitis. most people have a mild case of it, it's nothing to really worry about. you should be brushing at least twice a day and flossing at least once.

This would be my guess as well, but seriously - go see a dentist and get 2 cleanings a year. Don't fuck around with your teeth - you only get one adult set and can easily do some permanent damage if you aren't taking care of them.

probably failed to floss that area op

The real question is how you noticed this.
Do you examine your teeth throughly in the mirror everyday looking for anomalies?
brush floss gargle for a week if it doesn't go away see a doctor
>>317203
pretty much this, I have a mild case of it myself and came to this thread to confirm it
>>317159
probably bruising. See a dentist for sure though
Will try the mouthwash, thanks. I would like to see a dentist but my mom is such a cheapskate so I asked some advice for now.

Some pieces of meat got stuck on the adjacent area so I was removing them in front of a mirror.

I thought of that, but better do something in case it's actually gingivitis.
