Yes it can be serious as per your mention it has changed its color & being told earlier to stop your habit you still continued was the sign which you ignored . Pls visit dentist & get its examination done again .

Hi,
You need to stop the habit as suggested to you earlier by the dentist. Changing sides of placing the tobacco is not the solution to the problem.
Please post a picture of the black patch to understand better.
