Hi, just a quick question about 10yrs ago i had the nerve removed from one of my front top teeth due to abcess on the nerve, over the past couple of years ive noticed the tooth disclouring to agreyish colour?? does anybody know if there is anything i can do to make the tooth white again?

I think you can have it bleached. When I had a root canal on a front tooth that had already turned grey the dentist put something inside the tooth after he finished the root canal that turned it whiter than the other teeth. Although that was more than 30 yrs ago I am pretty sure they can still do the same thing or something similar.
