Not enough informati: More information is needed to answer your question. For example is there any pain, what part of your gum is changing color, is there bad breath, did you have fever, what are your other symptoms. Is this for only a few teeth or is it everywhere. Please resubmit your question. You can also see a dentist for examination.
