Therefore, the pigmentation of the gums visible during communication and smiling has become an important aesthetic component. <\/span><b>Gum Depigmentation in Dubai, Abu Dhabi &amp; Sharjah<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a periodontal plastic procedure to remove pigmented gums. It can be performed through the use of a laser, various chemical compounds, grafts, and electro- and cryosurgery. The gold standard is still gum removal with a scalpel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Gum_Pigmentation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Gum Pigmentation?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a dental disease of the mucous membrane, in which spots of an unusual colour form on the surface. The reason lies in melanin, which is present in every person&#8217;s body and contributes to the colouring of the skin. It is because of its quantity that the colour of the gums may have a darker shade. Many mistakenly believe that healthy gums have only a soft pink tint. In fact, the amount of melanin in the body can affect the darkening of the oral mucosa, and this will not be a pathology.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2
