Hi, I'm 22 and work in a prison. I've noticed that I've been grinding my teeth a lot lately and I also smoke cigs. Well today I got very minor pain I'm my back molar so I took a look and now I'm terrified. I was in braces for 7 years and I've always been decent at brushing my teeth. So I just don't know how this happened. I'm afraid that they'll have to remove it, but I'll find out next week... Any advice for me?

Is this a natural tooth or a crwon ? or do you remember putting any restorations in the tooth ex: amlgum
If it is your natural tooth this maybe a stains from cigrattes or your tooth have a caries ,...
and if this is a crown that is consists of percelain and metal ; this would be that your grinding to the tooth caused chipping of the porcelain as it is like a glass material and lead to the display of metal below it
this would be the possibile diagnosis ; I can't give you a final diagnosis unless after clinical examination
do not panic the treatment will be very simple in all cases
please after seeing your doctor can you inform me about what was his diagnosis and treatment for this issue ^_^
Thanks and have a nice day
