Hello!Welcome to HCM.
You did not mention if you use tobacco or any other habits.
This discoloration can be familial,which runs in family.You do not need a treatment if this is the reason.
Accumulation of calculus and chromogenic bacteria can also cause this.
Get a complete scaling done with your dentist.Quit any tobacco related habits.
Maintain proper oral hygiene.
Peanuts do not cause discoloration of your teeth and gums.You seem to be suffering peanut allergy.Avoid peanuts strictly.
Regards.
