Will tooth whitening brighten the dead tooth and what are my options for my short front teeth

Q. Hi there, I am currently in the process of bleaching my teeth with nite white acp, which I got from the dentist. When examining my teeth and after doing an xray, he told me that the nerve end has died in one of my front teeth – and it was just slightly more yellow. About 6 years ago I hit my two front teeth. The other tooth was chipped and my then dentist basically filed the chip out, so this tooth is slighty shorter with a slant. I am very conscious about this. The bleaching is working well, but the dead tooth is a brighter colour than the rest, but when lookin at it closer it still seems more yellow than the others, I am afriad to double up on bleaching of this incase it makes it any brighter. What are my options with the two front teeth. Many Thanks

A. You can bleach the darker tooth more by only putting gel on that tooth, long term you may want to place veneers on the front 2 teeth to make them identical.

I have a front dead tooth that is acutally turning black. I am just sick over this. Is there anything i can do over the counter so it does not look so bad. Until i can afford the surgery to correct this, i don’t have much of an alternative except not to smile – help

Dear Sir/Madam I have a dying upper front tooth that I have had assessed bya dentist before and was informed that it needed replacing. It was struckmany years ago and was forced back from the others. It has now started to discolour noticeably and I would like to do something about it. Price is a major concern as I was told that it could cost anything up to C2A32000 which is out of the question. Yours faithfully,
