I had a back tooth that was chipped and the filling was old so the Dr. recommended a crown. After all the prep work, a temp crown was put on and i returned 3 weeks later for the permenant one. when the Dentist took off the temp crown the whole tooth had turned black. He basically wiped it clean as best he could but the whole tooth was "stained". He has nott seen this before and searching for and answer.. as am I??? might anyone know what could cause this?
