If only one tooth is discolored, it may be due to a cavity or an injury to the inside of your tooth. The sooner these types of issues get treated by your dentist, the better the outcome will likely be. To keep your teeth in good health, see your dentist twice a year for routine exams.14 Feb 2020
How do you fix a single discolored tooth?
The easiest and most conservative step is to have it internally bleached. A root canal is required in order to help open the tooth and allow for the whitening solution. Over a week or two the tooth will lighten. The main drawback to this is that sometimes this bleaching method will not totally lighten the tooth.
Can you fix tooth discoloration?
The most effective way to fix tooth decoloration, at least, without getting “new” teeth, is to get professional whitening done at your local dentist office. Your dentist will prescribe a specific treatment strength and length for you, based on the types of teeth stains you have and your sensitivity levels.
