Why are my puppy's lost baby teeth black? Is it a dental issue?

Question

Is it normal that my puppy's deciduous teeth that have fallen out are a little stained black? Or is it a sign of a dental issue? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 5 months and 18 days old | 10.6 lbs

Based on the picture, I don't see anything concerning. As long as the permanent teeth appear normal then I don't think it is abnormal. If you have any concerns, have your vet do a dental examine to make sure all the teeth are erupting correctly.
