Signs of discolouration mean that the innermost pulp in the tooth has been damaged after the fracture and cannot heal itself anymore .. U need a Root Canal treatment after which the tooth is capped.
Next Steps
An X ray of the tooth in question including the tissues around it.
Health Tips
This Procedure will mostly be painless as the tooth is non vital now.
