Message: [QUOTE="LADentalclinic, post: 111234, member: 2575"] When was your last dental cleaning? From your photograph, I would say that it is stain, decay, or stained tartar buildup. The reason why I can't say for a certainty is because an actual exam is needed. An instrument called an explorer is used to determine if it is stain or decay. The sharp point of the explorer is ran along the dark area. If it sticks it is decay. If it doesn't it could be stain. If it scrapes off it is probably tartar. Either way if you want to take care of it you would need to see a dentist. [/QUOTE]
