Hi teeth can be black may be because of two reasons like either tooth is dead or due to any staining. If tooth is dead rct is the option or any discolouration or staining then bleaching is the option. You need to be investigated and diagnosed for proper treatment plan.

Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a little water to make a thin paste. Dab it on the affected area. Repeat this several times a day. Alternatively, you can simply put baking soda directly on your mouth ulcer. Also apply little honey. It takes 7-10 days to heal.

Gastritis, lung & sinus infection may also be the cause of bad smell in the mouth. 90% of bad breath is due to a dirty tongue. We need more investigations with clinical examination to decide upon treatment. You may need deep cleaning. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with a mouth wash until then. Advance procedures can be done with laser too. Dental tips: - visit a dentist every six months for cleaning and a thorough dental check-up. Limit sugary food to avoid tooth decay. Gargle your mouth thoroughly after every meal. Scrub gently to clean your tongue with a tongue cleaner. Floss all your teeth inter dentally & brush twice daily, morning & night, up & down short vertical strokes, with ultra-soft bristles, indicator brush. Tooth brush to be changed every 2 months.

Soft drinks, cordials and fruit juices should be consumed in a limited quantity because they are acidic in nature. Acidic food or drinks often soften the tooth material which leads to the dissolution of minerals into the tooth enamel, resulting in cavities (holes).

Kindly consult a dentist in person for further suggestion. We need more investigations to decide upon treatment.

Hi, It would really help us to give you a more detailed treatment plan if you could send us a photograph or x-rays of your teeth. Having look at the same we can give you better idea accordingly. You can also come for a consultation (free of cost). Dr. Krinita Motwani's Dental Clinic

Don't worry it's a normal physiology. It's just bcos of melanin pigmentation. No need of any treatment.

Get your teeth cleaned professionally by scaling and polishing. if you are not satisfied with the results go for bleaching of teeth.

that means you have a cavity.. which is deep.. kindly get it checked as you might have to get a root canal treatment done...and prior to that get an xray to assess the depth of cavity...
