Both teeth look normal. The gums above the tooth are pigmented in the second picture, which can be normal. (like a freckle inside the mouth). There is mild tartar calculus on both teeth but the gums look healthy. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are doing a good job with the brushing!
