What Could Cause Blackening Of Edges Of A Tooth?
Tooth is turning black on the edge, I HAVE felt it and it doesn't seem to be a whole like a cavity would be... I have had a cavity on this tooth before and got it filled. It doesn't hurt and I have just noticed it. What is it? Do I need to worry about a cavity?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query as you have mentioned that you have cavity before you got it filled now you have again blackening of tooth it can be due to Secondary caries or due to not properly removal of caries during restoration ,
You consult dentist again and go for IOPA x-ray done then go for treatment if Secondary caries is there go for Restoration again.
Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health
Regards
