See Dentist Now: With discoloration, bleeding and increased pain you should definitely see a dentist immediately for further workup and evaluation.

Question 10

i have a tiny black dot inside of front tooth?

Accepted Answer

Early cavity?: The inside of the upper front teeth had a small pit, or fissure that formed as the lobes of the developing tooth joined during formation. It can be a cavity that is new. Even more likely since you are the tight age, it could be a small silver filling that was placed in your childhood that you just noticed? Ask your dentist to be sure.
