What Causes Brownish Discoloration Of Teeth?

Hi! I'm 19 and have two decayed teeth on either sides in my mouth. It started when I was 12 but I was unaware of it back then. When I finally realised, I thought it was too late to go to a doc. He might just get them pulled out. So i was scared. Recently, my front teeth have begun to look a li'l brown. Are they decaying as well? I'm scared to go to any dentist.

hellooo...read thru ur query...first thing i can say is that pulling out of teeth is not the first treatment of decay..(infact its last treatment)..so dont worry about that...u must take an xray and go to a dentist..based on xray if the decay is too deep(since u said brown disclouration it can be deep) then u might have to do root canal treatment and crown..if not that deep then get a regular filling done...nothing to be scared of dentist..nowadays dentist also dont like plucking tooth out..v prefer to conserve the tooth..so i will say u to meet a dentist and get the treatment done...regarding front tooth also same procedure as told before applies..so dont be late..save ur teeth..dentists are always there for caring ur oral cavity...hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!!
