Is black groove cavities?

What causes black grooves?

In normal molars, the occlusion side looks like a groove, called a “sealant”, which in the newly formed teeth is narrow, deep, and difficult to clean, where plaque and food debris accumulate. If we don’t clean it well enough, it will cause accumulation and residue in the sealant, resulting in black tooth stain.

Is black tooth stain always cavities?

Black stains on the sealant that cannot be cleaned with regular brushing may be just stains embedded in the grooves or cavities. Black stains that are cavities will look solid black, thick, soft, gray or black shadows may be visible around them, and may also be accompanied by tooth sensitivity or toothache.

so If anyone notices black grooves or stains that cannot be cleaned by themselves. It is recommended to consult a dentist to get a diagnosis and find the most suitable treatment for you.
