What color is a cavity?

A cavity is not a color, it is a hole in the tooth. However, cavities can appear in various shades, including:

- White spots: Early decay can manifest as white, chalky spots on the surface of the tooth.

- Yellow or brown spots: As decay progresses, the lesion may turn yellow, light brown, or dark brown.

- Black or gray spots: Advanced cavities are often characterized by black or gray spots on the tooth's surface.
