Is it okay to delay gum surgery until June or should I get it done sooner Also are black gums something to be really worried about health-wise
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally best to address gum surgery sooner rather than later, and black gums may be a cause for concern depending on the reason. Delaying gum surgery can lead to more severe conditions and increased treatment complexity, while black gums can be a symptom of gum disease or other health issues.
