How is internal teeth whitening?

Sometimes a tooth darkens after a root canal, and this can be due to pulp necrosis, bleeding or remnants of the endodontic procedure. This affects aesthetics, which is why it is necessary to perform a veneer or teeth whitening.

The procedure to perform internal teeth whitening is simple but different from whitening teeth without endodontics (vital teeth). On endodontic teeth, the whitening gel is placed inside the teeth.


The result of internal whitening is satisfactory if it is carried out by a suitable professional. We share a video from the Mental Dental channel that explains what the internal teeth whitening procedure is like.

Do I Need a Root Canal? Possible Signs and Symptoms

A root canal treatment is a dental procedure that is performed when the dental pulp is affected by an infectious process or dental trauma. As we know, the dental pulp is made up of the nerves and blood vessels that feed the tooth.

Why Root Canals Fail

A root canal can fail due to several factors, which can range from the complexity of the tooth's anatomy to a poor procedure by the professional. It should be noted that endodontics is a treatment with a high percentage of success but it is not exempt from failures.

The dentist must talk with the patient explaining what the conditions are in his tooth, and take all precautions to achieve the success of the treatment.

Pulpectomy of primary molar teeth is considered as a reasonable treatment approach to ensure either normal shedding or a long-term survival in instances of retention.

Despite being a more conservative treatment option than extraction, efficient pulpectomy of bizarre and tortuous root canals encased in roots programmed for physiologic resorption that show close proximity to developing permanent tooth buds presents a critical endodontic challenge. This article aims to provide an overview of this treatment approach, including partial and total pulpectomy, in primary molar teeth.
