Q.
I recently have a bad fall and injured my face including the mouth area. After several days I have noticed that my Top Front Left Tooth has started to discolour from the gum downwards and looks almost purple in colour. The pain is severe as I have a lot of scar tissue to the underside of my lip and therefore reluctant to see a dentist until the swelling has subsided. I cannot bite down on any food as I find this very uncomfortable and almost painful although there appears to be loss of sensation. Does this mean I have damaged nerves and will the tooth recover. If not what can you suggest on making the tooth white again.I would really appreciate any help that you can give me on this matter as I am really stressed about this and worried that it will get worse.
