If the dentist/doctor can identify the cause, then they might recommend controlling or curing it. The treatment of discolored teeth depends on the extent of discoloration. BTW, the dentist said that the tooth became discolored because basically it is bruised and if the tooth survives, the color could stay the same or possibly lighten up.Treatment For Discolored Teeth In Children Maybe you can call around and get price quotes and find out payment information.
I dread the fact that my son might loose his front tooth at 3, but really don't want to risk damaging a permanent tooth. It sucks that you don't have insurance because he should be seen by a dentist. But mine is and she said that that is possibly part of the reason that his tooth hasn't healed yet. I'm not sure if your son is a thumb sucker.
SHe started my son on antibiotics just in case and we have a follow up appt in a month. If this happens then the tooth will have to be pulled because an infected baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth behind it. She said that the ligament that holds the tooth in place is widened and the tooth is at risk for getting an infection. She checked it for sensetivity and infection. It is now loose, but wasn't when it first happened. I immeadiately took him to a pediatric dentist. He fell and hit his tooth and about a week to two weeks later I noticed the color change. I wouldn't worry about it especially if it is a baby tooth! (which I'm assuming by his age that it is) They said they would have done somthing if he was in pain. So, as long at it is not bothering him and he is not in any pain. It kept getting worse and I was still concerned about it but lately (the last month or so) it has actually been going away (the gray color) and I just looked now and can't even see any gray color ! They didn't do antyhing about it and sent us on our way. They said the gray color was just from the tooth bruising and there was no damage to his adult/second tooth. then a week or so later, his one front tooth started turning gray. We took him to a children's ER to make sure he didn't need stiches or anything in his upper lip area. He bled a lot and had a fat lip for a few days. My 3 year old fell getting out of the bath tub about 7 months ago. Sherrill at Arizona Pediatric Dental Specialists. You don't want to jeapardize his overall health or the health of his other teeth. If the teeth are broken or infected, you need to know. If there is any way you can find to afford it, I'd get him to a dentist. I just didn't want her to lose them this early. I suppose they are baby teeth and if they remain discolored it's no big deal.
Her teeth remain slightly loose, and I'm told they will retighten on their own, and that there is a small chance that they also may lighten back up. They tell me that teeth can "bruise" just like other parts of your body because they have a blood supply. In our case, the teeth aren't broken or fractured, and there is no sign of infection. We're very fortunate to have dental insurance that covered this. Took her to the pediatric dentist for an exam and x-ray. Two weeks later, her two front teeth are gray/brown. I checked the teeth, they didn't seem loose. She fell face-first onto concrete, split both lips and I thought was bleeding around her front teeth. This EXACT same thing just happened to my two-year old.
