A member asked:
Docs can you explain, is that tiny brown hole on my tooth a cavity or a chip?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tiny brown hole: Please hold your head closer to the monitor so we can see it better. Just kidding. It could be a stained pit, a tiny cavity, a chip, an enamel defect, or a stained filling. Only a dentist who can personally examine you can determine what it is and whether or not it requires treatment.
