Just found out a lot of dark skinned people have black gums

My mom told me that women used to prick their gums to make them black since it's considered beautiful. Yuck.

As someone who's met a lot of dark skinned people in there life, "a lot" is a generous way of putting it.

Used to be purple, I remember this Cadaan boy making fun of me in primary school for it, but my gums are pink now.

Half and half. I remember being a kid and some family member saying my purple gums were diseased so I brushed it till some went pink. Then I think my Aabo told me it was natural I can’t believe I listened to dumb ciyaal.

Black ngl prolly a mixture of smoking and pigmentation

I am scared of any somali with pink gums.

Dark and white clean teeth are just an amazing, beautiful and a mesmerizing combination.

50/50; it's just melanin protecting you from gum cancer.

Your gums and your inner mouth cheeks are supposed to be the same color. @johnsepei5 @NidarNidar @cunug3aad @El Nino @Barni @iley What is the color of your mouth inner cheeks color ?

Your cheeks are going to be naturally protected from the sun, so they will be naturally pink, we just have a natural reduction to oral cancer.
