I cracked my front tooth and and it has gone black
Q. Hiya, when i was younger i cracked my front tooth on a corner of a table my dentist had to put a pin to hold in it place. Now however the tooth has gone black and is shorter than my other fron tooth. I find it difficult to smile and to communicate with other people. Im not sure what treatment would be best.
A. Hi many thanks for your enquiry, without seeing the tooth it is difficult to say what is definitely needed. However if the tooth has darkened. This means in generally the nerve of the tooth has died. The treatment that would be needed would be:
Root canal treatment of the tooth, and a final crown over the tooth to protect what is remaining but also to help the aesthetics. Hope this is helpful.
If you require any further help please do not hesitate to contact me.
