My daughter's front baby tooth is turning colors?!
Question: My daughter's front baby tooth is turning colors?
Answers:
Hello, There are two possible explanations for the change in tooth color..(1) She has bumped the tooth to the extent the nerve has been permanently damaged and the tooth has died..It will either remain in place until the permanent tooth comes in to push it out or it may come out on it's own, either way will be fine...or (2) In some cases very young children who are given antibiotics have their teeth turn gray or take on a spotted affect due to the antibiotics. I will however suggest you have her teeth examined by a dentist to ascertain which issues your dealing with. Good luck and I wish you both well.

it happened to my sister, she banged her tooth, when she was 4, and it went blacky/grey but when we went to the dentist she said it may stay that colour but it may not, but now its gone back to a normal whitey colour..
good luck:)!
If it's gray that means the tooth is dead. There is dried blood in the tooth.
That does not mean that it needs to be pulled. Just that it will be gray.
she has probably knocked it at sometime ,it is now dead ,dont panic though she will soon loose it as her second teeth will be coming through sometime soon,
