Gum depigmentation is a procedure used to remove black spots or patches on the gums caused by excessive melanin.
The normal color of the gum tissue is pink, but excess deposits of melanin can create what seem to be black spots or patches on the gums, creating an aesthetic or cosmetic problem. Discolouration may also be caused by long term use of certain medications.
