Question:
My three year old has a possible internal resorption. What is this, and what problems will it cause? ...Denise

Answer:
Denise, thank you for the question. Internal resorption is when the body rejects the tooth and basically eats the tooth away from the inside out.

What you'll see is the color of the tooth changes to a pink/orange color. The treatment is to extract/remove the tooth. I hope this helps
