Can you tell me how to know if it's a cavity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask your Dentist: Dentist will check for discoloration, change in anatomy, change in position, and will look between teeth with x-rays. Not a diy project, you need professional attention. If you have pain, swelling, bleeding the problem is advanced. Better, easier, cheaper to fix if caught early, so call your dentist.
