In this case, the patient had broken a tooth after a fall, leading to tooth discoloration due to potential bleeding around the root of the tooth, which can impact its color. When a tooth is damaged, it can require various treatments depending on factors such as pain or aesthetic concerns.
While some situations may necessitate a root canal procedure and internal-external whitening to restore the tooth's color and function, this patient expressed satisfaction with the tooth's color and only requested a tooth filling. As a result, a straightforward and effective approach to general dentistry was taken by filling the broken tooth with white filling.
This case highlights the importance of tailoring dental treatments to meet the specific needs and preferences of each patient, as not all cases require extensive procedures. In this instance, the patient's request for a tooth filling was addressed with precision, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
