Grey tooth

[HumbleJim]

I pointed out a grey tooth to my dentist (I thought it was giving me some pain but since another tooth was filled the ache has gone)

She has poked, prodded, ex-rayed and declared the tooth health healthy. I forgot to ask why it was also grey (the only one)

Why would this be?

I had a dark grey tooth as a youngster. I was told it was because the nerve was dead so the tooth no longer alive. I had a teacher that would always pull a wobbly tooth and she yanked it out. My adult tooth came through normal after that.

Imagine that today!! The teacher would have been sacked.

dead or has big old amalgam silver filling shining thru!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, it is filled so maybe this. I hadn't noticed before but it's towards the back so don't often look their.

As I'm not in pain I shall ignore untill my next visit.
