A member asked:
Why did the crown of my tooth become slightly discoloured after root canal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: When the pulp of the tooth died, red blood cells are often released into the dentin or middle structure of your tooth. The pigment in the red cells can darken the tooth. Your dentist can bleach it white again
