Is it normal for temp crowns to discolor?

August 9, 2016
Asked By:awesomeadam in Grant Park, IL

Ive had my temporary crown for a week now and im getting my permanent in two. And i noticed that my tooth has turned blue. Not deep blue but blue enough to notice. I thought maybe its just the cement that is discoloring but Im just wondering if there's an underlying problem.
