When a wisdom tooth is black what does it mean?

Usually decay: It could be severe staining, but it needs to be examined to know for sure. Call a local dentist.

See your dentist : Any black tooth needs to be evaluated. You may want a consultation with an oral surgeon to get a panoramic radiograph to properly diagnosis your situation. I hope this helps.
