Recently underwent root canal treatment on canine teeth. Need a second opinion
Answered by
Is'nt there scientific way of finding the right shade instead of depending on human judgement?
Thanks for writing to us,
I would like you to know that when selecting appropriate color for the crown, a dentist follows a few steps;
First of all, color selection is done under natural light,
A color guide or a template is used to do the shade matching,
In laymen's term as we move from incisors to molars the tooth color changes from white to yellow.
Incisors are whiter than canines and molars are yellower than canines.
Also, the tooth color is darker than your normal skin tone.
I hope this answer was useful.
If you have any further question kindly write back to us.
I wish you good health.

MD I am 38 yr old. My canine teeth are protruding slightly. When I smile they become more prominent. I have consulted local dentists who say that at my age there is no treatment. Can I not get any orthodontic treatment so that the teeth can go back and not be prominent.
MD hello Doctors firstly can i thank you for taking the time to answer my question, secondly, i have a question concerning whether to get braces or any other treatment (except for veneers).i have an overbite, 2 protruding lateral incisors and my canines are pushed back in comparison to my other teeth. what is noteworthy is that my left canine is very small because its still a milk tooth though i'm 19 years old. A year ago i had a surgery to remove the tooth that was supposed to replace this canine (it was engraved in my palate horizontally).
Hopefully you will help me out decide whether to have traditional braces,on a 6 month smile in order to enlarge my milk canine and straighten the rest of my teeth . Thank you in advance.
