Details provided by you are not sufficient,you did not mention whether you are taking prolonged medicine or you have any medical problem and since how many days you have the same? 1.Black discoloration inside the mouth may be because of prolonged use of any medication,hydrogen peroxide containing mouthwash etc........ 2.White discoloration of your gums may be following possibilities-    a.if white discoloration is limited to edges of gums,this is because of food debris and deposits.    b.if white discoloration is spread to whole gum and cover the cheek region,it could be-            oral thrush/fungal infection/leukoplakia So i will suggest you please visit an oral surgeon as soon as possible and get the complete oral examination done and take a proper treatment after diagnosis.and maintain good oral hygiene also.
