What is the most affordable way to whiten a tooth that can’t be whitened with whitening strips?
I have a front tooth that was hit at some point and has turned slightly yellow from it being partly dead. Because it is not a surface stain, it cannot be whitened with white trip of any kind. I have dental insurance but its only preventative so I need to cover it on my own so I’d like it as inexpensive as possible. Thanks so much
you could go to the dentist and ask for a white filling(tooth colored filling) and they can lighten it that way(cheapest) nothing else like whitening toothpaste or crest whitestrips will do it because its internal…otherwise you would have to get a crown(not cheap, looks best)tooth colored filling would be the cheapest:)

There is NO way of whitening a dead tooth.
Capping it, or extraction is the only logical choice.

You may have to whiten it internally, since it is not a surface stain. Try asking your dentist for possible options, then follow it up with teeth whitening toothpastes to maintain it.
