i had little black areas between my teeth pop up overnight. i just poked and proded them with a toothpich and they are like hard deposits in between my teeth. they are not sensitive and they don't hurt. i am a smoker. i haven't seen a dentist in years dur to lack of dental insurance but take of my teeth. is this tooth decay or some kind of buildup the dentist can scrape off? i'm very concerned.
--------------------
Likely tartar buildup however if it has been awhile since the dentist it may be cavities. Being a smoker your more likely to develop cavities also. I would recommend seeing a denist and getting xrays and a cleaning. Just ask them to take xrays and scale your teeth, forget the polishing and flouride if you are on a limited income. Please don't leave it though, you may not feel pain now but you if and when you do it is too late and you will require extensive work or tooth loss from extraction.
