I'm the past 1 month my top right canine tooth has turned red from the top as if the enamel has been eroded. It doesn't look like decay and does not hurt but looks reddish... I can attach a photo.

Probably it would be looking pinkish.... That is the sign of internal resorption happening in the tooth. Please visit a dentist to establish the diagnosis.
