Bluish/grey tooth?

Question

My tooth is kinda bluish/grey on one side(inner part of mouth)

it hurts every once in a while not too bad but bad enough to notice.

when it does hurt it usually passes with 30min - 1 hour.

i do have a filling in it.

So is this normal? hope i don't need a root canal.

Answer 1

teeth go a blue/gray/brown color when they die! go to a dentist for a check up! good luck!

Answer 2

You really need to see a dentist, but this usually a sign that you hit your tooth, or there is some form of germ that has gotten to the tooth causing necrosis.  This will usually turn a gray-black-bluish color.  It may get worse and travel into your gums and form an abcess, but if caught early enough can probably be saved by your dentist.

Answer 3

my mom had 1 like that on her side of her tooth she replace the tooth so depends if u hate or like it

Answer 4

ABBIE,

YOU  TOOTH WILL NEED A ROOT CANAL BECAUSE THE COLOR CHANGES WERE DUE TO IMPROPER BLOOD FLOW IN THE TOOTH.

Answer 5

it sounds like you need a root canal. root canals ARE NOT as bad as people make them out to be. i had one in april and the only reason i had problems is because i couldn`t get numb. after 15 shots of novicane i was finally numb and i was fine. the worst part is having to hold your mouth open.
