A member asked:
What does a grey bit with a tiny black dot on your tooth mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a dentist: It might be nothing, like a small silver filling which appears black and through the tooth casts a grey shadow or, it could be a cavity. The black spot being the point of entry and the grey area undermined with decay. Your best bet it to see a dentist and evaluate the situation to see if it needs treatment.
