Question:

My teet look to be turning a greyish black color?

I have had braces for 1 month but have had a fixed appliance in since dec. the back tooth on one side which is banded seems to be turning a greyish black color along with the toot beside it. none of my other teeth are changing. I just had a cleaning wed and my dental hygenist did not notice anything so I guess it has changed in the last couple of days. I am scare that my teeth may be decaying and will halt my ortho treatment. Has anyone else expierenced this problem.


Answers:

That sounds like a textbook dead tooth. The brace probably put too much pressure on the afflicted tooth occluding it's apex so that blood couldn't in or out of it causing the pulp to die. It should stay in but dead teeth are usually more bittle than live ones in the long run.
