....where Is "right Here"? Posted: 02-02-06 15:48pm
It's probably a dead tooth or almost
completely rotted. Gray really isn't
normal for a tooth. Also, right here
doesn't explain where it is....

Are you rough when you brush your teeth?
I remember hearing somewhere that if you
have grey on your teeth, it could mean
you've damaged the enamel. Would be a
good idea to get it checked :-)

Thanks for the input you guys gave me.
Sorry for not being more accurate in the
details...
Its not gray, from outside... It looks
like its from the inside... So that takes
out coffee or cigar stains.
I googled for the name and its my second
premolar tooth that got gray.
Now its not hurting when I drink cold
drinks because I changed my teeth paste,
but if I push the tooth I little hard and
let it go, it hurts a bit. Its not
moving, though... As firm as the others.
And still the same grayish color
three other things:
first, I smoke... Could it be related?
Second, when I floss it sometimes it
'cuts' the dental floss... Maybe a crack
on the sides of it? Decay?
Third, grinding? Sometimes I get myself
at night grinding my teeth... Not that
freequent tough.
Really dont know what to do.. Im really
tight on $ so im trying to find if its
really necessary to go to the dentist or
not.
