I went to the dentist last week and now a week later there is a black dot very small like a need sized black dot it feels discomforting I keep looking at it in the mirror when I open my mouth at first I can see it then for some reason it disappears like it goes in the skin further no idea what I should do its been a week should I call my dentist or my doctor?
Hello, how often do you visit your dentist?have you got your teeth checked for decay or calculus deposits?the black dot may be either due to plaque and food debris accumulation. This will result in a heavy band of black calcific deposits called calculus. Or it can be stains too. Deep scaling and polishing will remove this. If there is dental caries, which can be felt by probing, then it should be restored using suitable filling materials .if the decay is deep, apply ducal and then glass monomer or composite resin. Always brush your teeth twice daily using soft toothbrush and dental floss. Wash your mouth after every meal. Get a check-up in every 6 months. Use chlorhexidine gluconate containing mouthwash to prevent accumulation of microorganisms. Regards Chat Doctor.
