White spots on the gums are often related to kapha imbalance or can indicate a fungal infection. Since there is no pain or bleeding, it might not be serious, but it's advisable to keep the mouth clean using neem or turmeric paste. If persistent, consult a dentist or Ayurvedic practitioner

Hmm, so you've got black gums and these white spots that can be wiped away, but no pain or bleeding—sounds like an interesting scenario. Gums naturally vary in color, and darker gums can be a normal variation, especially in certain ethnicities. So, black gums alone aren’t necessarily a cause for concern.
Now, about those white spots. If they can be removed easily, it might be something temporary, like food debris or maybe plaque buildup. One possibility, it might actually be an excess buildup of cells like keratin on the gums, or you'll even sometimes see it in cases of oral thrush, caused by yeast. But usually thrush comes with discomfort or a change in taste, so if you're not experiencing that, maybe it's not the issue here.
In the Ayurvedic lens, we often relate this stuff to a Kapha imbalance, since it's associated with wetness and overgrowth, like mucus or... well, yeast. To balance Kapha, you might wanna lean into astringent and bitter foods—greens and spices like turmeric.
Try swishing oil, like sesame or coconut oil, in your mouth for a few minutes each day, known as oil pulling. It might help manage oral microbes. Also, check your tongue in the morning; if you see a thick coating, it’s a sign your digestion’s a bit sluggish. Focus on warming, light foods, and avoid dairy and sugar for a bit.
If these spots keep appearing, it's smart to swing by a dental professional just to be safe, especially if any new symptoms crop up. Keeps things from turning serious, y'know? Keep an eye on it, and let your body do its thing. But don't hold off medical or dental advice if things get weird.
