Is a Darkened Gum Behind a Crowned Molar Anything to Be Concerned About? (photo)

Christine in CA
I recently had a crown replaced on my most rear molar, here to fore, a healthy tooth. The tooth seems to be fine with no sensitivity, etc., but I noticed that the adjacent gum, the little mound where the old wisdom was, has darkened, as if bruised. It is not beneath the crown nor down either side of the gum of the crowned tooth, just the wisdom tooth mound. Crown replaced in January and noticed darkening within 2 weeks of that.
