Even if you’re a diligent brusher , spots can still show up on your teeth. A black or dark dot may point to a more serious issue like tooth decay.
most common causes of a black spot on your tooth may be due to the following:
-Tooth decay or a cavity
-Injury to the affected tooth
-Tartar buildup on the tooth
-Staining due to frequent consumption of certain foods or drinks like coffee, tea, and soda, or from using nicotine products like cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and cigars
What are the signs of a cavity?
-A dark spot or stain on your tooth
-Hot and cold sensitivity in the affected tooth
-Persistent ache in the tooth
-A hole or pit in the tooth
-Lingering sensitivity to sweet foods or drinks
-Pain while eating
Management of cavity
-Fillings are generally recommended for cavities when decay is closer to the surface and it doesn’t impact the tooth pulp or nerves.
-When tooth decay becomes more advanced the pulp inside your tooth can become inflamed or infected. When this happens, a root canal is often needed to clean out the decay.
