Dear Doc, Of late i have noticed black spots in my front teeths. I have been swimming for the last 2 months and occasionally swallow water. Are these black spots due to these. Three weeks back i had also done my dental check-up where-in i did scaling, polishing and filling for my teeth. Can this too cause it. Please advise I am not sure what could be causing this? Rakesh
Hi, The black spots could be oozed blood from your gingival on to the tooth surface. Tooth brushing would be sufficient to remove it. If it is not gone you can consult your dentist and get scaling done on the particular teeth alone.
