My damaged front tooth has turned black. I was going to use teeth whitening but I am afraid this will make it more obvious. Any suggestions?

Q. I recently hit my front tooth and now it is a bit black. I was considering starting to use the teeth whitening strips but now um scared that the blackness will show more if I whiten them.any suggestions since I don’t have insurance I can’t exactly go to the dentist.,
A. Hi You may have damaged e blood vesels and the tooth may be slowly dieting off. I would recommend an x Ray as there is nothing much else you can do to see if you need a root canal or not.

You can still have a crown on the tooth to cover up the discolouration

I have been having occassional problems in the vacinity of a crown fitted afew years ago(flares up every few months – not really pain, more discomfort, but something is clearly amiss).
