Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The breakage of teeth can be secondary to grinding of your teeth. The other possible cause cab be secondary to decayed teeth. The black staining over the gums can be secondary to deposits or it can be a physiologic pigmentation.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If the teeth are decayed, then it has to be restored. If there are any deposits over the teeth then, you need to get your teeth cleaned.
I hope i have answered your query. Take care.
