Tooth discoloration is because of loss of vitality of the pulp  leading to blackish colour of the tooth . Solution- 1.visit dentist & get tooth xray (iopa)&tooth tests  done (as part of investigation). 2.get the treatment done accordingly as per the investigations i.e Root canal treatment or extraction depending on the amount of decay , condition of the remaining tooth structure ,status of the surrounding tooth structure i.e periodontium etc.

Hii... If the spot is getting bigger that means your decay in the teeth is increasing.. So If it involves the nerve of the teeth, you will be having food lodgement & pain because of that ..so you should get the treatment done whichever is told by your dentist.
