Tooth Nerve

My had braces a few years ago and they left me with a dead nerve in my tooth. Initially, the tooth was light gray to dark gray. And now it is very sensitive. There is not much confidence. I had the nerve removed dead a while ago and something in my tooth filled, but nothing has obscured the discoloration in my teeth. What treatments are available on the NHS which can solve this problem?

It appears that you have had a root canal done in the past (the removal of the nerve). Over time, teeth that had root canal treatment tend to turn dark, which is not fun to watch. The best way to solve this problem is a porcelain veneer. It is a thin outer cladding is applied on the front of the affected tooth. It is in a sense, "stuck" to the front tooth permanently. This mask is the dark side of the tooth below. You can see some photos here Veneer: http://www.bcdentalcare.ca/CosmeticDenti ...

you already had the root of the tooth by the sound of it is whicjh why it changes color all the roots of treated teeth do. There are a number of options available on the NHS.
1. Your dentist can try to whiten teeth within the tooth. (This is a new treatment)
2. A veneer.
3. A crown.

hope this helps ..

extraction would you as a last resort. If the tooth already had a root canal and the color is the only thing bothers you, you can veneer.

If she had a root canal, you can have a veneer or crown to settle the problem of discoloration. You can learn about crowns here: http://the-dental-makeover.com/different ...

This NEEDS tooth root canal or extraction and CROWN

oh wow, I'll ask about a root canal, but now I'm not sure.
