Heavy plague : You need a good cleaning, possibly a deep cleaning. The itching & the darkness is the heavy plaque that needs to be removed professionally. See you local dentist. No worries

Please see dentist: The black areas can indicate cavities or stained calculus. Please make appointment for an exam.

Black lines: Black discoloration at the gum line may indicate calculus (tarter), tooth decay, or food impaction. Please see your Dentist for examination and appropriate treatment, especially if it has been quite a while since your last check-up. What you're seeing may be just the tip of the iceberg.
