Is their a possibility for a Root Canal Tooth to turn brown?!


Question:

Is their a possibility for a Root Canal Tooth to turn brown?

I just got home from the dentist office and I was told that I needed a Porcaline Crown. In order to have that done my tooth had to be shaved down and I told them that I didn't want that done to my tooth so the Dentist just filled it again just like he would do to a cavity. After everything was done the assistant told me that their was a big possibility for the tooth that needed the crown to turn brown in 3 or more years. The lady left me thinking...What should I do should go back to the Dentist office and get the crown applied or I don't need to worry about my tooth turning brown. Please Help me I have a beautiful smile and a brown tooth would surely ruin it. GOD BLESS

I didn't go to the Dentist office in 3 years how come my tooth didn't turn brown then? Can is still be more years to come for my tooth to turn brown? I just don't want to have my tooth shaved down. I'm scared to have that done.


Answers:

Root canals, from what I understand, are the result of decay within a given tooth that effect the nerve. In my case, I had a cavity that was really deep and even after I had a filling put in it continued to decay almost all the way to the jaw bone.

The explanation that I got from the dentist is that the nerve of my tooth had died and it needed to be removed as well as the decay and infection inside of my tooth.

Basically what he did was go inside my tooth, take all of the decay out, clean the four canals of my tooth, made a mold of my real tooth and then put a temporary cap back in my tooth. After a couple of weeks the permanent cap arrived in his office and he simply took off the temporary and replaced it with the permanent cap.

As far as the operation itself, I was given a local anestetic and I was awake through the whole thing. I felt no pain at all and I even drove home from the dentist's office.

I've had two root canal operations, one without dental insurance and one with it, and it can be very expensive. When I had it done without insurance the whole procedure, including the permanent cap, cost about $1,300. Believe me it was not fun to have to pay that but you need to have this operation done.

If you wait too long the tooth can become infected, like mine did, and it can spread to other parts of your body and cause serious complications. I waited about two and a half years before I finally had my second root canal done.

The quality of a root canal has to do with the dentist, his equipment, and his specialty. Root canals require crowns, so you’re looking at a minimum of $1,000 in treatment. MINIMUM. However, if it’s a front tooth, you’re pretty safe. If it’s a back tooth or decayed tooth then you should see a specialist and not just your regular dentist. Its only $200-300 more.
