Hello, if the spots are deep and food getting lodged then definetly these are initial cavities and you need to get it filled. If there is not food lodgement and only the stains then those can be removed by routine cleaning of teeth done by dentist.
Next Steps
Have a checkup done with the dentist as soon as possible.
Health Tips
Kindly brush your teeth twice a day to maintain a good oral hygiene.
