My husband has black marks on both upper n lower gums. his teeth also bleed when he brushes which never happened before. what's wrong?

Black spots on gums: Seek attention from a dentist this week. Could be calculus ( debris,plaque), amalgam tatoos ( from fillings ,crowns, dentures),black gum disease from stress smoking autoimmune disease, gingivitis/peridontitis or more serious cancer.Seek medical attention from a dentist this week and get a CBC( blood test for complete blood count).

Many Possibilites: But why guess? He needs to be seen by a local dentist to be evaluated and treated. Make the call...

2 issues: Black marks may be normal pigmentation or manifestation of an anomaly. Bleeding, probably gums not teeth, indicates gum disease. To diagnose and treat both issues your husband needs to see a Pro, a qualified Dentist, sooner rather than later. Your husband has non-self resolving problems that will only worsen with time.

Dental exam needed: Your husband needs to see a dentist.the bleeding gums are unhealthy and need to be treated. The spots may or may not be related to the gum disease. It takes an exam to know exactly what they are. Get him to a dentist.

See a dentist: for evaluation, x-rays and oral pathology screening. Take care.

See a dentist: Could be in need of a thorough cleaning and exam at a dental office. Also could be related to any new meds, supplements, beverages, etc. he may be eating/drinking.

Gum disease: Black marks on the teeth could be cavities or more likely charter which has been stained by blood The fact that you said he is bleeding win he brushes indicates gingivitis and possibly periodontitis which includes bone loss. These are both gum disesse.
