Small dot next to filling cavity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Filling: Not sure if you meant before or after you got a filling. There are grooves or pits in a tooth that can pick up stains. It may be involved with a cavity or just more apparent since you had a filling done. It is something that needs a visual examination to be certain.
