What Causes Sudden Discoloration Of Upper Tooth?

After a dental extraction that left a small piece of the tooth the wound is healed yet now it looks like all the top of my mount teeth are dying. All of those on top. They now look very different from the lower set. Question: Is it possible that all those teeth did or are dying? And, what would cause it to happen so quickly to all of them on the top row? Thank you. Jim

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to get an x-ray of the tooth piece left in the socket, according to your clinical symptoms i suppose that you might have developed an infection in the region which is radiating in the nearby tooth region giving you such feeling, also take acourse of antibiotics and analgesics, maintain a good oral hygiene, take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take an appointment with Oral Surgeon and get the piece removed.

Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!
