Hello everyone
Me member here, so I had sarpe surgery 12 days ago and I just noticed yesterday that there was a little discoloration in one of my front teeth and now toast I've noticed that it is a lot worse and that a few of my bottom teeth are starting to discolor also, I'm slightly panicking and I don't see my surgeon for 3 days now I thought I'd jump in here and see if anyone has had this and could tell me what happened in their cases, thank you

The prescription mouthwash can temporarily stain your teeth and the lack of hygiene is a factor as well. Just do what you can for now and rinse your mouth after the mouthwash to minimize impact. It will get better once you can brush/floss better. I can hardly wait till I get in for my cleaning once I can open my mouth up all the way again!

That's awesome news, thank you both, I've been reading all about root canals and saving the teeth, but maybe it's not so bad, great
