How to differentiate between gumline cavity nd gumline tartar. its a small black line at gum line what to do?

The best solution is to go to a dentist for treatment. If tartar it can be scraped off, if a cavity it will show up on an x-ray Poor oral hygiene will cause both.

This is not a Do It Yourself project. Go see someone with over 4 years of training and even more years of experience, a Dentist. Have the area evaluated and treated. And ask Dentist for instructions on how to prevent recurrence.
