Visitor asks:
MY 12-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO THE DENTIST. THE DENTIST FOUND THAT SHE HAS A DEAD TOOTH, SPECIFICALLY TOOTH 2. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER THE TOOTH WILL GROW ANY FURTHER AT ALL AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT NOW.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
A dead tooth must first be appropriately treated with root canal therapy: cleaning the root canals and filling the canal with a synthetic material. If the tooth crown becomes darkly discoloured, it can later be restored with a veneer, or, in the case of more extensive damage to the crown, with a root post and an artificial dental crown.
Have a nice day!
