TOOTH FILLING
I had tooth turn in black due to cavities, when I consult the dentist he said filling is to be done. Apart from teeth with black color he said to fill other tooth that are not black, not even a black spot or brown spot, he said that the tooth had small holes.
I want to know whether is it necessary to do filling for even a small hole( very negligible and food does not hold there) and not turned into black color.

Yes it may be necessary to fill that tooth with small holes,,but ask your dentist the role of pit and fissure sealants also.
