Is a black spot on your tooth a cavity?

I noticed a black spot on my tooth. It doesn't hurt. Is it a cavity?

Dear Reader,

A black spot on your tooth could be a cavity, stain from food, or a discolored filling. I recommend you see a dentist to determine what it is and have it addressed, especially if it's a cavity.
Hope this helps.
