Well in the beginning of this year-around January, I was really sick and I fainted and fell on the floor. My front tooh hit against the floor and died because of trauma and sometime around feb I had my root canal done. I had permanent retainers on, so those had to be removed. My dentist didn't complete my root canal treatment (the permanent filling) because after that I noticed my front tooth was darkening a bit.
So in mid-march I started a internal bleaching treatment. I was made a tray and told to put the gel on that tooth on the tray and wear it every night. I had a temporairly filling in my rooth canal tooth at this point.
It took A lot of time to whiten my tooth. In fact, I haven't even gone back for a follow-up (actually I missed my appt but she had told me she wanted to see me when the gel would get over-the gel was still there)
Now the thing is- I'm still doing my internal bleaching treatment. My tooth shade is not matching the rest. I have very little gel left and probably sometime at the end of this week will I go and visit her. I have been doing my internal bleaching treatment since 3 months. She said my tooth was strong and it was only the nerve that died inside because I didn't have a really bad fall.
I don't know what to do. My tooth is not even whitening.. it looks OK but it sometimes can be gray and I have no clue what to do. I'm really upset about all of this.. I really wish I didn't have to fall sick. My friend told me that my root canal tooth is transparent. But my mom says there is 90% improvement in the dark shade.
How long will the new shade last?What should I do about my whitening problem?
