My dogs mouth has been healing for a month after dental surgery. There’s a black spot where one of his teeth were removed. Is it a sign for concern? I’m not sure what it is. Could it be pigmentation?

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach and for giving us that amazing photo! Much appreciated! I personally, think it looks like pigment and is normal. I suggest you just monitor it for now and it the black spot gets larger, then have your vet check it out.
