Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually when the decay of tooth is deep it involves the pulp and there is need for root canal treatment of the tooth, as pulp is a vital part of tooth which maintain its white and trancelucent color, so if your tooth is becoming black you have to go for root canal treatment.
Hope it will help you.
