A. Hello Mam, If you have black discoloration on the tooth it may indicate dental decay.
Gap in the front tooth may arise due to various reason and the treatment would depend on the cause, hence would be advisable to visit your dentist(or an orthodontist) for an orthodontic consultation.

Treatment depends on whether you have a natural gap between teeth in which case braces or Invisalign is recommended. If it is a cavity then filling is advised.

Did u have gap between the teeth from before? Are the teeth looking normal of there is blackish discolouration, which may be decay. Visit a dentist for a clinical examination. Depending on clinical examination, the line of treatment will be decided. If there are generalised gaps without any decay, u can go for orthodontic treatment to close the spaces as u r young. If the gaps have happened due to decaying of the sides of teeth, then u need some fillings.
