i smacked by teeth on the ground a few years ago, ever since then my two front teeth have turned red?

Question

i smacked by teeth on the ground a few years ago playing basketball, i remember i did chip my tooth, my mouth was bleeding alot and when i went to go see a dentist he said something about the roots of my two front teeth bleeding internally
and because of that my teeth are stained redish-yellowish, i wanna fix this but i dont know really know anything about it, im hoping someone can shed some light onto this and maybe give me advice on how to fix it and maybe an estimate of the cost.

thank you in advanced

Answer 1

myself personally dont think that whitening your teeth will do the trick.....I would go and talk to a denist about veneers for your front teeth and possibly see if there is a way to cleen them deep in the root....my mother just went and had a deep root cleaning that costed about $200!! Hope this helps!!

Answer 2

So that you don't spend unnecessary money... whitestrips won't help because it's not an external stain, it's in the tooth. The teeth might be dead by now (the nerves inside I mean) which means if you got root canals done (cost a lot of money, few hundred dollars each) there's a chance it could sort of clean out the blood-look somewhat...

Also, deep cleaning is nothing close to your situation. A deep cleaning is cleaning the outside of the root, where there are deep pockets (the space between the gum and the tooth) so it's cleaning right AROUND the root, not INSIDE the root.

I wouldn't go for veneers because they're expensive and they'd have to drill away some of your teeth to get them on (or else your teeth will be too bulky) and those are also fairly expensive... couple hundred or so I believe.

I'd go to your dentist and find out if they need root canals, or if it's possible to sort of do a thin coat of a white filling... almost like a veneer, but not as thick and not as expensive.

Sorry not the most useful answer, but I just wanted to clear up the white strips thing and the deep cleaning thing!

Answer 3

Internal bleeding and discoloration of teeth is not something that regular whitening procedure can fix.
You are limited to internal whitening that can only be done if the tooth has had a rootcanal or crowns/vaneers.

Answer 4

I was reading about teeth whitening because my dentist suggested that I do it. I mean professional whitening by a dentist, not by a toothpaste or strips. The article said that discoloration from blood can be removed by professional whitening procedure. Unless your teeth are still bleeding all the time, it souds like it might work for you. Ask a dentist. Do a web search on "teeth whitening" to learn more.

Answer 5

You should get Crest White strips. I'm not too sure on how much they are, I'm going to guess maybe .... 10-20$. Maybe. But, I know not a whole lot. Also, you might want to lay off the soda, since it eats away your enamel. You could ask your dentist to whiten your teeth, too, it might cost alot, though.

Good luck. ;)
