Brief Answer:
Decay, stains, restoration, scaling

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.

As far as the black spots over the teeth is concerned, i have two possibilities. It can be initial stages of decay or pits. The other possible cause can be secondary to stains.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a decay, then it has to be restored with tooth color filling material. If it is stain, then it can be treated by scaling or oral prophylaxis.
These are the possible causes and treatment options based on your description of the problem.
If you can upload the images of the teeth I can give you exact diagnosis and treatment plan.

I hope I have answered your query. If any queries are there, reply me back.Take care.
