Shay asked in HealthDental · 6 years ago

I have a gray dot on my tooth. Is it a cavity?

There is a pale grey dot on one of my molars. It looks like it's right below the surface. Could it just be discoloration?

Ps I have braces ( but idk if that makes a difference)

Thank u!

    Not necessarily. It could be calcium spot or plaque or a stain. If you have braces, you get your teeth looked at regularly (and probably cleaned every 6-12 months), they would see if something was wrong.
