Dental decay is one of the leading causes of black teeth in adults and children. When a tooth begins to turn black, a dentist should be consulted to discuss treatment plan.
Key takeaways:
– Tooth decay and cavities cause black teeth, sometimes appearing first as black spots.
– Black teeth can be caused by staining from foods such as coffee and red wine, as well as tobacco products.
– A good dental regime including twice daily brushing and regular dentist visits can help prevent the condition.
