internal bleaching on root canal done tooth?
ok so i asked my doctor about what i could do about my tooth discoloration (front right tooth)..i asked him abt crowns but he recommended not to go with crowns because my gums are still moving around (im 16 years old) and maybe if i get a crown after some time the gum above it can bloat up or something and will look very unpleasent..he instead recommnded that i’d go in for internal bleaching..because my tooth isnt fractured its still in place..he said with internal bleaching my tooth should lighten up by 2 shades and chances of it looking like the rest of your teeth is very high…
i would like to if there is someone here who has done internal bleaching…is it safe?are the results positive?negatives?please give me all the info possible..thanks
yes, its safe. I’ve seen the results and they were great! I’m not sure how many years it will last though…. The procedure doesn’t hurt and shouldn’t take too long.

The reason your tooth is dark is because, as your tooth died, blood leaked into the little tubes that make up the inside of the tooth. What the "bleach" paste does is seep into those tubes and "bleach" out the blood cells. The internal bleaching is painless and fairly simple. However, it takes a number of trips back to the dentist to change out the material. My results have been mixed with this but I’d give it a go. Good luck!

I had it done about 2 years ago. I had very positive results.
