I have a build up tooth as mine broke in an accident when i was younger. Today i visited the dentist for my check up and asked about getting a crown. My dentist told me that i will have to wait sixth months as i will have to wait until my root canal settles down. Is there teeth whitening that will lighten the discoloration in the short term until i can get a crown?
