One of my front teeth is grey (darker than the rest)?


When I was 9 my neighbor fell on my head and broke half of my front tooth. I couldnt find the missing piece. When i was 16 i went to a dentist and he said the nerve is dead. I had an operation done to remove the nerve and filled up the tooth temporarily untill I get a cap. Now im 17 and i noticed my half of the broken tooth is grey ...Why? and how do I fix it?? Do i whiten it or what

This happens when you have a %26quot;dead%26quot; tooth. Since you%26#039;ve had a root canal, ask your dentist if you can have internal bleaching done to help restore it to a whiter color. You%26#039;ll not want to get a crown on this tooth until you are at least in your early 20s. Until then your teeth will erupt further down and putting a crown on it now will only result in you needing another one in a few years. Hope this answers your questions.
Reply:also ask your dentist if you are able to get a cap now so you dont take a risk of breaking it..some patients in my office are able to get crowns, the tooth is no longer alive so it changes to that color as the last person has said..also ask if you can have a bonding done(tooth colored filling) to mask it in case you cant have it dont for another year..
