Case Description
HI, Around 3 years ago I got in a skateboarding accident that knocked my top tooth in half. So i found the other half of the tooth and we went straight to the Dentist. They reconnected the tooth. Around 4-6 months laster I went in for a root canal of the tooth. I later the tooth started to turn brown where they had reconnected the tooth. So there's just this big line of brown in the middle of my front tooth.. It doesn't look appeling at all! How can i got the brown spot turned white? Is there anything that would help at all? Please help me!!

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I cant say for certain because I haven''''t seen your tooth. However alot of times when a nerve dies a tooth may become brown. If that is the case the majority of your tooth (the part that is not filling) would be brown. A crown would probably be the simplist answer. If there is just a brown line between the filling and the tooth, then the bond is probably just breaking down. I would suggest having the filling repaired or replaced. Hope this helps.
