The black spots could be either tooth decay or tartar if it’s near the gum line. If it is a cavity it should be filled and if it is tartar you require scaling and polishing ( cleaning of teeth)
Health Tips
You can use any fluoridated toothpaste like Colgate or pepsodent etc. Fluoride prevents cavities
