Caries / Black spots on Teeth
Hi Dr Ma'am. My daughter is having caries in her front teeth. Small black spots on front four teeth and black spots in gaps between two sets of front teeth on left. Another dentist had recommended to take OPG but we dont want her to expose to xrays as she is very young(16months). It was recommended to remove the caries and do filling. Need to get it done by specialist in kids. Please advise if you are pediatric dentist and we should bring her to your clinic.

Good morning. Cavities must be treated at the earliest. Please get her at the earliest so least invasive treatment can be done. And at this age it is normal at that age so don’t worry about that.
