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??

Have your DDS. do a internal beaching. The dentist makes a small hole behind the tooth, removes some the RCT filling and places a tiny cotton pellet with a bleaching solution into the chamber, they either leave the pellet in place for a week and seal with a temporary filling and repeat procedure until you like the shade the tooth has lightened to., or warm a instrument and scorch the pellet to release the bleaching agent in to the tooth and see the results right away. But that also has to be repeated. This happens because the tooth had a root canal and it is no longer vital, the bleaching will do the trick, or if you want a permanent fix, a veneer or crown.
Reply:go get your teeth whitened
Reply:well depending if the the part of the tooth is grey is real or not....


best bet is just to get your teeth bleached
Reply:It's grey because of the Root Canal you had. When you have a root canal, there are no longer any nerves going into the tooth, therefore no nourishment or vitamins. Right now, the tooth is dead and needs a crown on it ASAP. If you dont get a crown, you run a high chance of breaking the rest.
Reply:Your tooth has become grey because of the dead nerve. In other words, your tooth is dead. The best option I can think of would be to get a veneer, but it would be best to visit your dentist and see what he/she suggests.





Good luck!

Reply:Like your doctor said your nerve is dead which basically means your tooth is dead. Since part of the tooth was filled (im going to guess that is the part of which is white) it is 2 tones. You can have the tooth bleached. Though I think you will still notice a difference. I would recommened getting a veneer on the tooth. which is porcelean that is shaped over your tooth and they can shape it took look beautifully and it will look pearly white, but i do warn you that might cost a little penny. But I think it is worth it. But for a home remedy there is really not much you can do. goodluck
Reply:like your doctor said, the nerve is dead. i have a tooth that is relative. they say it is from a sudden impact or trama that causes it. i don't know any remedies. i think they can bleach it
