Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2004A tooth noticably yellower than the others
All my teeth are rather yellow but there is one tooth that is noticably more yellow. That tooth is also more pointy than the others and that's the one I was planning on getting fixed. Here is a pic: http://users.acn.gr/moonchild/tooth.jpg Is this something I should worry about? > All my teeth are rather yellow but there is one tooth that is noticably > more yellow.

Canine teeth are almost always significantly darker than the teeth in front or behind--perfectly normal.

Can a dentist fix it up so it doesn't look so pointy?

Any dentist? You can have the tooth filed somewhat, but there are risks: you don't want to expose the nerve tissue under the enamel. Before getting anything done, you'd want to get a good x-ray and evaluate the health of the tooth. There are limits as to what can be done regarding removing the point.  SignatureCheers/Chüss SP 'A Day...' is not a real email >You can have the tooth filed somewhat, but there are risks: you don't >want to expose the nerve tissue under the enamel. You must have a heavy hand if you are worried about exposing the pulp while smoothing the tip of a sharp cuspid.

It could more likely be that too, But that's easy to fix: slap on a bit of composite. If you nick a pulp horn, the tooth is definitely more at risk of pulpitis. And, of course, b/4 doing it, I'd carefully check all lateral movements. There may be a REASON the tooth is so pointed. BOOOOoooommmM...

At any rate, I would do this cold (no anesthesia) just in case I was getting close. SignatureTo reply: take out the TRASH... >OK, but what about a pulp horn? Can't those exist in canines?

You shouldn't even encounter dentin. Next time I extract a cuspid will take some pix and post them, Probably will saggitally split the tooth for education purposes. After extraction of course. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>OK, but what about a pulp horn? Can't those exist in canines?

Once in a while there exists a cuspid with a distinct lingual cusp as opposed to a cingulum. >They are very hard to hit when just >rounding a sharp cuspid.

Talon cusp. See them quite often, especially laterals. -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Cool!

Any dentist? YUP, the dentist can grind it to be less pointy or more ovoid .... takes four seconds! JOEL "Joel M.

Another thing is that the other canine is not pointy whatsoever. I mean isn't that weird. Usually such a statement is related to the night-time position of the mandible, bracing the jaw on that cusp tip and rubbing on it. One side gets worn down.
