Black area on the gums

Hi there! I have a little black dot on the gums between two teeth. It hurts too. Was normal at first and then bled when I brushed my teeth. In the meantime, a small black dot has appeared. Is this just a foreign body? The tooth doesn’t only hurt the gums! Please FAST ADVICE.

Check whether there is any food residue stuck between the teeth – The gums can catch fire in the space between the teeth, inflate and then the outer skin bursts. – Rinse with a mouthwash, possibly warm it up a little in the microwave. You have to do the rinsing with your teeth clenched so that you exert pressure that cleans the space between them – you don’t need to worry. But showing at the ZA makes sense, especially if the gums are dark red. (Healthy is pink)
