Thanks for using Health Care magic.

Read your query.

Discoloration of the teeth ,as you have described in your query is due to the effect of the hit which he had in the past.It is not mentioned in the query as to whether they have been root canal treated.

I would advice you to visit a endodontist who will take a radiograph of the teeth and do the root canal treatment and then he may either need internal bleaching or may have to get his crowns done on the affected teeth.A radiograph will also rule out if there is any abscess formed around the teeth.

Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this was helpful.

Thanks and regards.

Thanks for your query, i have gone trough your query. Th discolored teeth could be because of the trauma. The teeth will lose its life following impact, the teeth starts becoming yellowish or reddish brown. These teeth can be treated by doing root canal treatment and restoring with ceramic crown. Consult an endodontist and get a radiograph done to rule out any infection within the bone and later get the teeth treated. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
