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
Answers:
This happens when you have a "dead" tooth. Since you've had a root canal, ask your dentist if you can have internal bleaching done to help restore it to a whiter color. You'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.
