Hello, Usually when you have a cavity your food gets stuck there you might have sensitivity or pain too. So, if you can see a black spot do visit a dentist and get it evaluated and filled if required so that it does not increase thanks.

The dentist checks the cavity by using a instrument called explorer. If this is an active caries then this instrument will dip inside and will give a soft tactile sensation to the dentist. You should then ask the dentist to shoot an x-ray for your tooth. This will make further clear that how deep is the caries. Or is its just a stain. If it caries, you must get it cleaned and filled as soon as possible.

Hello, if you have a cavity, you will have food lodgement or sometimes pain. An x-ray would reveal how deep the cavity is and treatment can be done accordingly. But if the cavity is very small, you can find small black spots on the teeth, there will not be any pain. Kindly visit a dentist nearby, get it checked to know if it is just a stain or a cavity and get the treatment done. Thank you.

Food is getting stuck at those areas is the sign you can come to know about cavity. But few times the top areas of teeth has very small opening that you cannot easily identify the caries going on. So please visit dentist or please provide your clinical pictures for further guidance.
