Hi ,since pulp tissue has been removed from root canal ,the deadened dentin may darker over time.it can be corrected by internal whitening or by placing crown or venner
Next Steps
visit your root canal doctor for a follow up
Health Tips
In rare cases staining can be due to some leftover pulp tissue or root canal medications.that can corrected with a revisit to your dentist

Yes it is absolutely normal for your tooth to discolor after Rct. Placing a crown on the tooth is the advised treatment for esthetics as well as strength if the tooth structure is also compromised.
Next Steps
Once your RCT is over, go for a crown.

Hi. Only minor change will occur. If major it may be due to improper rct. Consult an endodontist.

It’s ok for the filling to turn yellow or the tooth may discolour. So to maintain the colour esthetic. Of the teeth go for a crown which is tooth coloured. Visit the dentist and get it done
