Best Answer

If the tooth can be saved with a root canal (pulpotomy) or other treatment, it should be done. The adult tooth that will replace this baby tooth may not erupt until the child is six or seven years old, and the dental arch may shrink if the baby tooth is lost too soon. This will lead to problems when the adult tooth erupts and the child may require extensive and expensive orthodontic treatment to correct the problems.

If a front tooth was damaged 4 years ago and is slightly darker now should a root canal be performed to keep it from getting darker?

Trauma to the front teeth will often cause a tooth to die and subsequent discoloration. A root canal is needed to prevent or stop the infection process. To address the color, root canal treatment should help by removing all the dark, dead tissue in your tooth but to get it back to normal, you may need internal bleaching, veneer or a crown. Talk to you dentist about this.
