Black brown dot: It may be decay, it may be tarter buildup, it may be due to a gum infection, it may be a tooth fracture. The only way to tell for sure is to,see your dentist for a thorough clinical, radiographic and visual examination.

Natural remedies: There are no natural remedies to replace routine dental care. This dot could be calculus or even a cavity. A local dentist will need to take a look.

Dont know: The best natural remedies to try to remove this spot would be a toothbrush and dental floss. If that doesnt work, you need to see a dentist- naturally!

Go to the dentist: Natural remedies do not fix any tooth problems. That is why dentists exist. You need to go to the dentist to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Dot: Black/brown dot may be tarter, decay, stain, fracture, or many other things. No, there are no "natural" remedies for tooth/gum damage. If there were, you would see ads for the product all over TV. Please see Dentist. Allow him/her to do a thorough examination, differential diagnosis, and then establish an effective treatment plan. Best natural remedy is the telephone, call for an appointment

See Dentist: What you are seeing could be a variety of things. You would need to see your dentist so they can take a look and take x-rays. There are no natural remedies to get rid of it.
