What is the black line at gum with crown after root canal?!


Question: What is the black line at gum with crown after root canal!?
I had a root canal about a year ago, and I was just wandering what the black line was at the gum line right below the crown!. I have been to the dentist several times for regular cleanings since this procedure, so I assume that it is normal!. Will it ever go away!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It sounds like you have a porcelain fused to metal crown and what you are seeing is the metal under the porcelain, many crowns look like that!. It's not going anywhere, you would need to replace the crown with an all porcelain crown to fix it, but hopefully it's a back tooth so nobody but you will see it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
