Hi Dear,

welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query bruise around the tooth occurs because of pulp tissue necrosis due to degradation of pulp tissue and damage of nerve endings which gives black discoloration to tooth area. I would suggest you to visit dentist and get it examined completely. Go for pulp treatment and root canal therapy. Maintain oral hygiene. Restoration can be done with composite if it is minor chipping but because of long standing degradation of pulp tissue go for vitality test of tooth first and then start treatment as per dentist's instructions.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Mahehshwari
