Black spots means dental caries. Caries is an irreversible process. You should get the treatment done as early as possible irrespective of pain.
Treatment will be restoration or root canal treatment depending on the extent of cavity.
Next Steps
Kindly visit dentist for clinical examination and x ray followed by treatment.

Good oral hygiene is the first step for white and healthy teeth. If you are already brushing twice a day, please share more information on these spots. Since how many days did you notice them? First we need to find out what kind of spots are these . Based on that the treatment can be decided.
If you have not gotten your Dental scaling done regularly , that can also be the reason . Please share more information on your health.Do you smoke, are you taking any medicines,if yes since when etc.
