See your dentist: Even with flossing and brushing, sometimes cavities can still develop. Best to see your dentist for evaluation.

Tooth Decay: Black spots are likely a symptom of tooth decay. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and eventually tooth loss. Visit your dentist for diagnosis and treatment.
