Dark spot on gum

[aqz]

Hi, i have noticed this dark spot on gum under tooth which i had a filling on years ago. Its not bothering me apart from noticing it by chance. Just wanted to know is this due to filling or just pigmentation. I do have pigmented gums in general. Just this spot is darker then other areas. Thanks in advance View attachment 5968

It does look like pigmentation. Keep an eye on the area for any changes.

Thanks for the reply, could it be a tatoo due to filling also?

Amalgam fillings can sometimes cause a tatoo yes.
