Dear practo user
Black dot can either be a cavity or a stain. A picture would help us better in diagnosing it.
Next Steps
brush the area twice daily and make sure no food gets lodged there.
Health Tips
use Betadine gargle mixed in warm saline water rinse for at least one minute three to five times a day
