Can I use external bleaching for root canal teeth? The tooth has already root canal two times (retreatment of root canal) and I want to avoid opening the tooth again.

[@bryanacevedo4724]

Amazing content, very informative. If I have a root canal treatment done already and it was already internally bleached but now it is discoloring a bit, am I supposed to go again to do a crown treatment or some type of veneer? As you said it is always good to be conservative with teeth, I ordered some withening strips and I'm wondering if should use them or not to try bleaching it externally, I do not want to cause anymore damage to the theft and potentially lose it. Thanks in advance

[@mentaldental]

Internal bleaching often needs to be performed again if the tooth discoloration is relapsing. I would follow up with a dentist to get evaluated to see if a more conservative option is possible before considering a veneer or crown.

[@Znb.ak000]

Perfect🌹🙏

[@Rachel-ml4wx]

Great video thank you! Wanted to ask, if you are about to begin RCT on a tooth, would you then do internal bleaching straight after as a preventative measure or would you wait until the tooth is discoloured first to then do internal bleaching?

[@mentaldental]

You would wait until the tooth is discolored, because teeth respond differently to root canal treatment. It is not something I would recommend be done prophylactically.

[@Rachel-ml4wx]

@@mentaldental Thank you!

[@catiadeoliveira5913]

hello, i had it done 10 days ago on a front tooth. The dentist did root canal + walking bleach. This tooth never hurt me before. Now, i still have the product inside my tooth but i feel electricity in the tooth 5 times per day. It s very violent when it occurs. Is it normal to feel that? the toot is white now but i hope it did not damage it.

[@mentaldental]

Hello, I would check in with your dentist to look into this further. The symptoms you describe are not consistent with what I’d expect from an internal bleaching treatment and I think it would be worth it to follow up.

[@rdraj535]

Hi, which is the best way whitening tooth internal bleaching or ceramic crown. I have a same problem.

[@mentaldental]

Is this a tooth with a root canal treatment? I’d encourage you to see your dentist and ask what they recommend as the best treatment option!

[@StephanyCamacho]

Hi, I got the root canal 🦷 surgery and then I got the internal bleaching done. It’s been 5 months and the yellow color is back. Now I have to spend the same amount of money again to do the bleaching procedure. Wondering, do you know if there’s a more permanent solution to this ? So I don’t have to do this every 3 to 5 months ? It bothers me lots because it’s on one of my front teeth.

[@mentaldental]

Sorry to hear and I totally understand how that's frustrating. Unfortunately, without clinical photos and x-rays I cannot give you specific recommendations like veneers, additional bleaching applications, etc. What I would say is to ask the dentist or specialist who did this procedure what other treatment options are available for your case.

[@zolokantivi4900]

I have the same thing I can’t not smile 😭😭😭

[@TheToothFairy]

@@zolokantivi4900 there are many options if bleaching isnt working in ur case due to one or more reasons ..pls talk to your dentists..they definitely have solution for this :) dont stop smiling !

[@haroondarwish2767]

can we used in clothes washing liquid and how much

[@george4gg]

What's your opinion on CaOH2 placement into the chamber after the end of internal bleaching?

[@mentaldental]

That's a great question. It seems like the current understanding on this topic is incomplete. From some case reports and in-vitro studies I read through, it seems like the use of calcium hydroxide as a temporary dressing in the pulp chamber helps reduce the possibility of root resorption (one of the potential side effects of internal bleaching) by increasing pH and thereby inhibiting osteoclast activity. While there are concerns that it may cause microleakage of the composite restoration, this study shows it may not actually be a concern: pdfs.semanticscholar.org/915c/488d0156df892929492de5854b921b3157ec.pdf

[@george4gg]

@@mentaldental Thanks for you answer! You are doing a great job!

[@tarakashmoola3777]

What about open chamber technique of internal bleach?

[@dianapatel5114]

I had a question since we learning different stains, when is tetracycline staining visible, I mean at what age??

[@jeanbrigitlouis994]

If one had taken tetracycline in the calcifing age ie before 8years... Most likely to get discoloured primary or permanent dentition

[@ibraheemforde2816]

Hi is this internal bleaching permanent because I have a dead tooth and I want a permanent fix but crowns are expensive

[@mentaldental]

Hi there! Thanks for the question. It really depends on the etiology of the discoloration. First, the tooth will need to be root canal treated if it hasn't been already. 2-3 years out 50% of cases will regress-but can be treated with external bleaching if the regression is mild.

[@clashed472]

Will the root canal and internal bleaching will help the tooth discoloration?

[@mentaldental]

Yes! For the majority of cases of intrinsic stains, this treatment proves very effective.

[@federicopasquali4715]

Can I use internal bleaching for my vital teeth?

[@mentaldental]

No, that would need to be external bleaching!

[@ylernelson8303]

I have one discolored tooth in the front .. how much would it be to get an internal bleaching done on that one tooth?

[@mentaldental]

Good question. I'm honestly not sure since the cost varies widely based on location, but if I had to estimate from national averages, I would say it would cost around $800-1000 for the root canal therapy of the front tooth and then a few hundred for the bleaching procedure.

[@samanthawileman2059]

I have the same issue!

[@hagarabouzaid9715]

How much time between visits in walking bleaching

[@mentaldental]

About 7-10 days usually.

[@mustafaimad3928]

👍👍👍

[@bellamonroe7322]

Does performing this procedure vary from state to state because in NY where I live every dentist I’ve been to tells me that this procedure is malpractice if you have a root canal
