Yes, some cavities look like black or brown spots on your teeth. But a dentist can use special tools to find the ones hidden between teeth.

If it is a deep cavity, you will see a visible black hole or feel pain when drinking cold water. A simple dental clean-up and filling cost around 1000 rupees and will save you from a painful root canal later. Don't delay the visit.

I had a tiny black dot on my molar and thought it was just food stuck there, but it was actually a deep cavity. Honestly, just look in the mirror with a flashlight. If you see dark spots or feel sensitivity, get it filled quickly.
