Tooth decay
Hi
Am 30 year old lady. Recently I have undergone extraction of teeth due to decay. One is left upper jaw and another is right lower jaw. The tooth beside the extracted tooth is looking like as attached in the pictures. My question is the black stain which comes from the adjacent extracted tooth is the decay of the existing tooth in the picture or it is just stain. What I have to do now. What procedure should I follow.

Hi,
The upper tooth looks like a stain. The lower tooth could be a stain. Suggest you get a dental check for both teeth and get a full mouth cleaning.
