Black lines on back teeth (near gum)
I have black lines on back teeth near gums. I got scaling and cleaning done from the dentist. But he left certain lines saying it would hurt the gum. It has been 1 month. It has come back all over again. I'm so worried now. What to do?

These are stains. These can be removed during scaling. It won’t do any harm.
