Black things on teeth
A couple of teeth have black line between the teeth and the gums and there is also a small gap, bigger than the thickness of a fingernail. Bleeds at times and also aches. Picture attached.
Kindly suggest any home remedy first if possible.

Seems like decay but difficult to diagnose without seeing you in person. Would require a restoration/filling. You won't be able to treat this at home, for now just try to keep the area clean and avoid irritating the area with your finger.
Next Steps
please see your local/family dentist.
Health Tips
do NOT wait for too long or this may worsen.
