Discolored dead tooth....what can I do to whiten it???

Question

i recently went to the denist and found out that one of my two front teeth is dead. I was wondering why it was darker than all the others but had no idea it was dead. It is also slightly more forward. I havent had a root canal and my dentist says I don't need to do anything about it. I hate that it's darker than my other front tooth and want to know if there is anything I can do to whiten it?? I had braces for 7 yrs and used to have a perfect smile. What can I do to fix this?!?!?!

Answer 1

The Herbal Body Book (A Natural Approach To Healthier Hair, Skin, and Nail) by Stephanie Tourles says that....

"strawberries have a slightly bleaching effect and help to rid the teeth of tea, coffee, and cigarette stains. A strawberry is much safer to use than lemon juice, which is too acidic."

Her recipe for Strawberry Brightener
Mash 1 medium-sized ripe strawberry. Dip your brush into the liquid and brush normally.

From the Answerer:
I must warn you that the seeds get stuck in your toothbrush, so you may want to have a separate brush just for the strawberry treatment. You would want to do this after regular brushing with toothpaste, of course. You can use thawed out berries that have been frozen, but make sure they do not have sugar in them (and that they’re not still cold). This is a tasty way to treat your teeth!

***This book has great recipes for natural facial steams, scrubs, toners, moisturizers, cleansers, masks, shampoos, etc. I got mine from Amazon for less than $4!!!

Answer 2

Alright, if the nerve in the tooth is dead, you definitely need a root canal to prevent an abcess from forming. After the root canal, you can try a combo of internal and external bleaching on the tooth to try and whiten it. If that does not work, then a veneer or even crown may be an option.

Answer 3

Commercial tooth whiteners use hydrogen peroxide and
are expensive and inconvenient. A cheap and natural
tooth whitening home remedy uses few strawberries
but certain precautions have to be taken.

there are many natural remedies like rubbing lemon juice 2-3 times daily for 3 months.easiest way is to have white matching crowns over it,which will serve looks as well as putting to use dead teeth.
