What Causes Black Spot In The Corner Of The Grove Of Tooth?
I have a wisdom tooth that has come through in the top left of my mouth. It is very painful as it is continuing to come through. I noticed today that it also has a black spot in the corner of the grove of my tooth. Is it likely to be a cavity? I am 25 years old

Hello!Thank you for posting here.
Any problem with the third molar, during eruption or after eruption I suggest removal of the tooth.
Third molars literally do not help in chewing food or speech.This can cause caries in the next tooth if the contacts are not proper.
You already have pain during eruption.I suggest you to get a x-ray done on the tooth and get it removed.It will normally take 3 -5 days to heal.This dark spot can be caries or food lodging.A clinical examination is necessary to tell you what the black spot is.
Regards.
