Q. Hi, It was a few years ago i noticed black dots on my teeth, i’ve since been to the dentist every 6 months apart from in the last year. She has always said there is nothing to worry about, but now i havent been to see the dentist in a while i have noticed they are gradually getting larger and on one of my teeth there is a second smaller black dot(the black dots are situated on the back two teeth on the bottom on either side, 4 in total)I have a phobia of any dental surgery. I had 2 teeth removed when i was 8/9yo under gas because of it and have was wondering is this decay also if it is are there any treatment which i would be put tosleep for the procedure?
A. It is very likely that the black dot is just stain in the pits an fissures of the teeth. Ask your dentist to x-ray them that way you will be able to tell if the dots are decay or just stain. You could have them filled if needed with sedation although the fillings will probably be very small.
