Should I worry about black spots on my puppy's gums while teething?

Question

Puppy has symmetrical black spots on his gums on the inside of his upper pre molars. is this because he’s losing those teeth now? He’s lost his incisors and lower k-9’s so far, as far as I know. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 2 days old | 6 lbs

Its not normal for the gums to become pigmented from losing teeth but if you are seeing it on both sides, I would not be suspicious of anything abnormal. Monitor for any signs of abscesses from the puppy teeth-usually this will look like a red bump. I hope this helps with little Buster!
