A member asked:

Sore, brown gums: Need much more information. This cannot be diagnosed without a medical and dental history, and a clinical and visual examination. Make an appointment to see your dentist.

Time for an exam: It means you are long overdue for a dental examination. Cannot possibly determine over the internet if your actual gingiva is brown or if you have calculus deposits that are stained. Either way, call a dentist for an appointment.
