4. Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
Also known as trench mouth. This causes fever, painful gums and bad breath. Infection can cause black or gray gums if a layer of dead tissue builds up on the gums. Trench mouth is caused by the rapid growth of bacteria in the mouth, usually due to inflammation of the gums.
5. Bruises
Eating something with sharp edges and even brushing your teeth too hard can make bruising gums. Bruises on the gums are usually dark red or purple, but they can also be dark brown or black. You may also experience minor bleeding and pain besides bruising. Bruises usually heal on their own without medical treatment.
