A member asked:
Pls is it normal for 8month old baby to have dark stain on his upper gum and what can be done to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: people who have dark colored skin will have dark stained gums. The only thing you need to make sure about is lead exposure that can do the same kind of staining.
