Is there a method of whitening the inside of the tooth
Q. One of my front teeth is grey but it is still alive. The tooth is not stained; the discolouration has happened as a result of bleeding inside the tooth. Is there a method of whitening the inside of the tooth (as I presume whitening the outside of the tooth is pointless). I do not want to have veneers. I would be grateful for your opinion? Thank you for your time.
A. You need the tooth to be assessed with an x-ray if it has darkened it could be due to previous accident where the tooth was knocked. The inside can be cleaned out often needing a root canal treatment and then whitened.
