My Front Tooth Is Darkening After a Root Canal
I am unsure if I should go with my dentist’s recommendation to get a crown for my dark front tooth. Last fall, after my left front tooth was knocked out in an accident, I made an emergency appointment with my dentist. He reinserted the tooth and bonded it back in place. He also did root […]

Why won’t teeth whitening strips work on my discolored tooth?
