What Causes Blackish-gray Ring On Back Molar?

I just noticed that on my back molars there is a thick blakish-gray ring on the front sides, and on both of them there are thin gray vertical lines going from the bottom to the top. I am trying to see my dentist ASAP but am worried about what it could be. I am 20 yr. old female.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blackish gray ring on the molar teeth can be stains secondary to coffee or tea. The thin grayish line can be a deep groove on the tooth surface with stains or it can be initial stages of decay. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is stains, get your teeth cleaned once. If it is secondary to a deep groove or decay, then get your teeth restored with tooth color restoration.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
