Hello, these indicate starting of decay, I suggest you to first go for scaling procedure, get yourself evaluated and get them filled. Looks like the decay has just started and can be stopped here itself by filling but still evaluating is important as sometimes the decay looks less from outside and is much deeper inside
Also, get your already filler tooth also evaluated
Next Steps
Visit a dentist when situation gets better
Health Tips
Brush twice daily and use mouthwash
