Should I be worried and can I get a decay under composite if tiny pieces of food went inside? (Photos)

Question

What are these 3 tiny brown spots under composite bonded tooth? I had my 2 front teeth composite bonded just one week ago. Yesterday I've noticed 3 small tiny brown spots on one of my teeth. What could that be? I must mention that part is where composite and natural tooth separate, it is sharp and when I floss my teeth the floss gets stuck in it. Should I be worried and can I get a decay under composite if tiny pieces of food went inside? Also on another tooth closer to the bottom is one tiny black spot that looks like it is captured inside composite.

Hi. Composite is a material that, if it is not maintained, can filter food and generate cavities. Maybe when they installed your veneers they didn´t polish enough.  there is a porosity where the food is filtered and these spots appear. You must go to the dentist to polish to avoid cavities

Hello!Well the one in the previous part where your thread gets stuck if you go with your dentist because it ends up falling or getting food, maybe it's just very simple and you need to polish. You have very little with them. I do not think it's a big problem.Good luck!
