Hello,
I put the question under the category "other" because I do not know where my case belongs. I have noticed slight dark-blue discoloration of the upper second premolars on both sides. I also have amalgam fillings at this site on both sides - could this be staining? I have no pain, sensitivity or anything else.
Thank you very much and best regards, Maya

Dear Sir/Madam!
Most likely the dark amalgam is showing through the dentin and enamel of the tooth. It would certainly be advisable to have an examination and an X-ray; only then could I say with certainty that it is not caries.
Have a nice day!
