I had a hairline fracture in my maxilla about 4 years ago, which resulted in getting a root canal done on tooth #8. The root canal went smoothly. I noticed recently in some pictures that my tooth is discoloring a tiny amount. Otherwise, the tooth is fine. I asked my hygenist about it and she recommened I get a crown on it. She said later on, it might crack on something, b/c the tooth does not have a nutrient supply. She said it would become brittle and it was better to be safe than sorry. I am in my mid-20s so of course I am worried about the long-term ramifications of my decision. What should I do? What type of crown should I get?
