Black spot on front tooth

[Nisha]

While brushing my teeth earlier, I noticed a pin-sized black spot on my front tooth.
No matter how hard I brushed it, it would not go away.
After that I tried poking it with a tooth pick only to find out that it was a small hole in my took.
I would like to know if this is serious and needs to be tended to immediately or it is just a small matter.
Thank you in advance.

I don't know why you have this in your front tooth, but I had a similar thing, one each in the sides of my wisdom teeth and it's never caused a problem. I haven't checked if they are still there but no dentist has ever filled them or even noticed them.

By the way don't over brush your teeth, you will damage the enamel.

That black spot in your tooth is an aftereffect of cavity, you better take a visit to your dentist.
If there is a hole while pocking the spot with toothpick that means you are having cavities indicates tooth decay.

Hi Uptown that wasn't the case in my wisdom teeth. It's there decades later, no decay yet.

That's quite weird, I guess you're one of the lucky person in the world!
