Yes, you can whiten a tooth after a root canal, but regular whitening treatments may not be effective since the tooth is no longer alive. The best options are:
- **Internal bleaching** – Done by a dentist from inside the tooth for even whitening.
- **Veneers or crowns** – If discoloration is severe, covering the tooth may be a better option.
Consult your dentist for the best whitening method based on your tooth’s condition.
