🦷 The Story Behind a Pink Tooth
This 50-year-old patient presented with a striking pink discoloration of a front tooth. The history? Significant trauma as a child, with the tooth completely knocked out and replanted—not once, but twice.
Remarkably, the tooth has survived and functioned for over 40 years following the injury. The pink appearance is a classic sign of internal resorption, a condition that can develop years—even decades—after dental trauma.
A fascinating reminder that traumatic dental injuries can have lifelong consequences and that long-term monitoring is essential.
