In these cases, we use microsurgery to add gum tissue by grafting tissue from the patient&#8217;s own palate, or we use artificial substitutes for a simpler solution. <\/p>\n<p>In some people, especially smokers, there is an increase in pigmentation that can darken the gums, known as <strong>\u2018gingival melanosis\u2019<\/strong>.
