Why Has My Front Tooth Started To Discolour?

Friday, April 26th, 2013
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.

Where can i find a good cosmetic dentist?

Q.

Hi Andrew, I’m 25 and my teeth are a complete shambles! This is mostly my fault as I was a heavy smoker and liked fizzy drinks. I’ve recently quit both, however I’m undergoing treatment for a medical condition which involves a high dose of steroids and I’m convinced they are affecting my teeth as well! I have a slight phobia of the dentist and untill recently I hadn’t been since I was 16. I had to go in June this year as my horse had knocked one of my front teeth out! I had a temporary post fitted and was due to go back but I moved to a diffirent county. I found a dentist closer to home and all he wanted to do was tell me how awful my teeth are and that I’ll have none left by he time im 30! Well I know that! And to be fair it took alot for me to even go to him, just to be treated like a second class citizen. I’m not terribly well off… I’m signed off from work for medical reasons however my teeth are a priority and I’m willing to spend whatever it takes to have a nice smile! Is there a way I can set up a payment plan with a dentist for the work I need done as it’s going to cost thousands and I don’t have it upfront but can afford up to £200 a month.  Where can I find a good cosmetic dentist? I live in Kent. Thanks.
