What Care Follows the Treatment?
Once the root canal treatment has been completed, you should consider
the following:
1. Brittleness - a non-vital (endodontically treated) tooth is more
brittle than a vital one and is more susceptible to fracture. Therefore,
in most cases, we recommend that your root canal tooth be crowned
(capped) following treatment,
2. Discoloration - you may notice that your endodontically treated
tooth (especially a front tooth) has undergone a change in color. Though
this discoloration is of no medical concern, you may be interested in
having the tooth whitened. Be sure to ask us about tooth whitening if we
do not decide to place a crown on the tooth.
