Dark Tooth: Why Your Child Has a Discolored Tooth
If you have kids, you know that they can get themselves into a lot of interesting accidents. Many times when kids get a head injury they knock out a tooth. Other times, they simply hit the tooth really hard and injure it.
It has been estimated that 8-30% of kids under 7 suffer an accident that injures one of their baby front teeth.
Any time a tooth suffers an injury, there is a possibility that it may turn a different color. If you're wondering what it means if your child's tooth has turned pink, red, gray, black, brown, or yellow, then you're the reason I wrote this article!
Tip - I will use words like pulp, dentin, and enamel in this article. If you don't know what those mean, you might want to brush up on The Anatomy of a Tooth.
When Your Child's Tooth Turns Dark (Gray, Brown, or Black) After a Tooth Injury
When blood leaks out of blood vessels after a tooth injury, blood by-products such as iron can make their way into the small tubes inside the dentin layer of the tooth. As the blood breaks down, it can make the tooth appear to be gray, dark gray, brown or even black. This color change doesn't usually occur until 2-3 weeks after the tooth has been injured and can occur after a tooth has turned red (see below.)
The book Paediatric Dentistry by Welbury states that "although the reaction is reversible to a degree, the crown of the injured tooth retains some of the discoloration for an indefinite period. In cases of this type, there is some chance that the pulp will retain its vitality, although the likelihood of vitality is apparently low in primary teeth with dark gray discoloration."
Basically, the author is stating that even if a tooth has a dark color, it may still be able to return to health. Some experts have said that the darker the discoloration, the more likely it is that the nerve of the tooth has died. For example, this study "found that 33 of 51 traumatized teeth with gray-black discoloration were necrotic." However, other experts state that the shade of darkness doesn't reflect the health of the pulp.
If your child's tooth has turned dark, the best thing to do is to have your child's dentist look at it. If there are other signs that the tooth is dead such as swelling or an infection that shows up on the x-ray, then your child's dentist will probably choose to do something about it such as performing a root canal treatment or removing the tooth.
If there is no sign of infection in a dark tooth, the dentist may choose to not do anything and let the tooth eventually fall out on its own when the permanent tooth is ready to take on its role in the mouth. A study by Sonis showed that 72% of darkened teeth fell out normally without any bad effects on the permanent tooth.
Also, if there are no other signs of infection, this study showed that there is no need to do a root canal. The researchers concluded that "Root canal treatment of primary incisors that had change their color into a dark-gray hue following trauma with no other clinical or radiographic symptom is not necessary as it does not result in better outcomes in the primary teeth and their permanent successors."
When Your Child's Tooth Turns Red or Pink After a Tooth Injury
If a tooth is going to turn red after an injury it can turn red shortly after the injury, or it can wait anywhere from a few weeks to months before it begins to turn a pinkish red color.
Red and Pink Teeth Immediately After the Injury
If a tooth turns red shortly after being traumatized, it usually means that the blood vessels inside the pulp broke. When the blood vessels rupture, blood leaks inside the whole pulp area of the tooth resulting in a reddish pink color. This condition is known as pulpal hyperemia.
Sometimes pulpal hyperemia is difficult to detect. You may have to shine a light on your child's tooth and look at the tongue side of the tooth with a mirror to detect this color change.
The pink/red color may take a long time to go away or it may never go away and the tooth may start to darken to a shade of gray.
Red and Pink Teeth Weeks after the Injury
As a result of trauma, sometimes cells inside the tooth start eating away at the hard layers of the tooth through a process called internal resorption. These cells are called odontoclasts and in certain cases they can eat away to the outside of the tooth within a few short weeks. The tooth looks pink because as the pulp layer of the tooth gets bigger, its red color more easily shines through the thin layer of remaining tooth structure.
A man named James Howard Mummery first noticed this "pink spot" that appears on teeth, which is why it is typically referred to as pink tooth of Mummery. Pink tooth of Mummery can start occurring anywhere from a few weeks to months after a tooth is injured.
These teeth are usually kept until the crown of the tooth is dissolved. Then the tooth root can either be removed or it can be left to get dissolved spontaneously as the permanent tooth comes into your child's mouth.
When Your Child's Tooth Turns Yellow After a Tooth Injury
The dentin layer of a tooth under the enamel is normally a yellow color. If a tooth reacts to an injury by laying down a lot more dentin, it is known as pulp canal obliteration (Also called calcific metamorphososis, progressive canal calcification or dystrophic calcification.)
The increase in the amount of dentin and the concurrent decrease in the amount of pulp gives the tooth a yellow, opaque color.
The book Pediatric Dentistry by Pinkham states that "although pulp canal obliteration is a pathologic process, it has no known deleterious effects and therefore does not necessitate any treatment except follow-up."
It is important to regularly follow-up with your child's dentist about any teeth that have turned yellow after an injury. The book Paediatric Dentistry by Welbury notes that "a small percentage [of yellow teeth] demonstrate pathologic change many years after the injury."
Conclusion
Many times parents want to rush treatment when their child's tooth changes color. It is important to understand that "in the primary dentition of a healthy child, color change alone does not indicate a need for pulp therapy or extraction of the tooth (Pinkham.)"
Basically, if your child's baby tooth has changed color, often the best treatment is no treatment. As long as an infection doesn't develop, simply waiting it out and seeing what happens could mean that your child doesn't have to go through unnecessary dental treatment. And that's a good thing, especially after they've already been through a traumatic tooth injury.

According to the study mentioned in your article, "72% of darkened teeth fell out normally without any bad effects on the permanent tooth." What does it mean if the permanent tooth comes in discolored? My son had a gray tooth as a result of an accident when he was three. He is 8 now, and his permanent tooth is coming in gray.
Hi Miriam - Thanks for your comment - you bring up a good point that I neglected to mention in the article. If children are young when they damage a baby tooth, it can damage the permanent tooth. I talk about this in a previous article about what to do when your child's baby tooth falls out.
Since your son was three, his enamel was still forming on the permanent tooth. The accident most likely disrupted the formation of the enamel and caused a defect known as Turner's Tooth. This Wikipedia article has some good information on that condition.
Usually the tooth appears to be chalky white, yellow or brown. I haven't heard of it being gray, but I wouldn't rule it out. It's a possibility that something more happened to the tooth and the nerve died. In any case, it's best to take your son in for a check-up to see if there is any infection around the tooth or if it appears to be alive and healthy.
I hope that helps, Miriam. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment!
Great info as always. I have never encountered all these possibilities, but they are really helpful to know as a parent.
Hi Pamela - Thanks for your comment - At least now you'll know what it means if you ever see a discolored or dark tooth in the future
Have a great day!
Hiya I'm 20 I've been brushing my teeth everyday and my four big bottom teeth are grey and black all of a sudden why and what should I do I'm scared if I need them taken out as I'm terrified of injections please could you email me as soon as possible
My 5 year old son's top front tooth is slightly discolored( grayish) from last 2 weeks or so. It may be 2-3 months back that he bumped his mouth on the floor..this is the only accident happened to his mouth.
Took him to pediatric dentist today as after x-ray he was showing me a line on the tooth ( which I was not able to see). Bottom line is that he is suggesting to do a baby root canal as the vein inside is damaged.
I am concern about it as the tooth is very slightly gray and he is not complaining of any pain or swelling...I do not want my son to go through this procedure if time can heal it.
Another concern is ,if Ido not go through root canal..is any any chance that his permanent tooth will aslo be discolored or infected...appreciate your respose.
thanks,
Hi Seema - It sounds like your son's dentist believes that the tooth is dead. Sometimes, these teeth can return to health, and sometimes they don't. You can read the section above about gray teeth to see some of the studies that I cited about your son's situation.
If you don't go through with the root canal, an infection could develop which could cause damage to the permanent tooth. However, this study did show that 72% of gray teeth that are untreated simply fall out without any problems. It's also important to mention that having a root canal done on a baby tooth can damage the permanent tooth as well, although this rarely occurs.
It sounds like you do have some doubts, so you might think about getting a second opinion. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
My nearly 5-year-old daughter did a face plant in the driveway about three weeks ago and this last week, her tooth has become increasingly purple. But otherwise, it looks fine (no swelling, etc.) ... this article was a huge comfort to me - sounds like we need to take the wait and see approach! Thanks for the comprehensive info.
Hi Rebecca - I hope your daughter is recovering well! It's always a good idea to get it looked at by a dentist as well. When the teeth do turn dark, there's a good chance that the pulp could have died. Thanks for your comment!
My three year old son and I had a terrible spill on the pavement when going downhill with the stroller today. The wheel turned and locked up and my son ended up face down on the road.
After checking him over, icing his swollen lips and comforting him I found that one of his front teeth has what looks like a bruise on the gum line above it and was bleeding at the time of the accident. The tooth is not chipped or discolored at all.
He hasn't expressed any pain in his tooth and even wanted to eat supper shortly afterward.
I've been really worried about it all day and am wondering if you've encountered similar stories of the gum being broken/bruised and whether it is likely that his tooth is damaged.
Thanks so much,
Amanda
Hi Amanda - I hope your son is doing alright! What happens sometimes with injuries to the teeth is that the tissues around the tooth start bleeding, and the only way for the blood to come out is at the gum-line.
Any time that a child has an injury to the face that affects the teeth, it is a good idea to go to the dentist to check on the health of the tooth. From what you describe, it sounds like your son's tooth will be alright. However, the only way to know for sure is to visit a dentist who can examine your son in person and let you know what's really going on with the tooth.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions, Amanda. Thanks for your comment!
My 9-year-old has had a purple/red color to a baby tooth that is loose. It has been this way for a few weeks. Yesterday, she said she can feel a "hole" on that tooth with her tongue and she can taste blood. Is this common? We are going to see the dentist tomorrow, but I found your website and was curious to get your perspective.
Thank you!
Hi Candi - Did the tooth have a cavity in it or did it ever have any trauma? It could be that the tooth is loose and the hole your daughter is feeling is simply the bottom of the tooth where the root has dissolved now that it is ready to come out.
I'm not exactly sure what it is without that information. I hope that helps. Let us know what ends up happening at the dentist's. Thanks for your comment, Candi!
My 2 yr old daughter fell two weeks ago, the gums were slightly bruised. Today I noticed her tooth is slightly darker (grayish). The tooth is not loose but she still has a small bruise on the back of the tooth. Do you think the tooth will get darker? It is not painful for her to eat or brush. Should I be worried?
Hi Jh - I really can't give you a good answer. Any time that a tooth is injured, there is a chance that it will get dark and that the nerve will die.
In your daughter's case, it is possible that the tooth will get darker, but it is also possible that the tooth will heal and become white again. Only time will tell. Your daughter's dentist will be able to do some tests to find out if the tooth seems like it will heal alright.
I hope that helps, Jh. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment!
My daughter is 6 and she has her first permanent molar that came in a few weeks ago. I did not pay a lot of attention to it at first, just told her to make sure she brushed it well. She started complaining that it hurt to brush it so I looked at it and it looks gray and hurts when I brush it on the biting surface. What could be wrong with her tooth? Her dentist is out of town this week and I am just an overly worried mom. Any advice is welcomed!
Hi Maggie - It may be possible that the tooth was slightly broken through the gums for a while before it came all of the way into her mouth. If so, it may be a cavity. There could also be a defect in how the tooth's enamel formed. In any case, it's always a good idea to get it checked out by your daughter's dentist to find out what's really going on and how you can fix it.
I hope that helps, Maggie. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment!
My 8 year old's permanent teeth are all turning a browinsh yellow color. The only thing we have changed is her daily vitamins from Bluebonnet? I've also noticed that she is losing more hair than usual. I have a doctor's appointment, but wondered if you've heard of the teeth changing color due to vitamins?
Hi Wendy - I haven't heard of teeth changing color due to vitamins. Perhaps there is something else going on that is related to the hair loss. Hopefully you get everything figured out. I wish I could be of more help!
Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment, Wendy!
My 3 year-olds front teeth (both) went dark grey 3-weeks after a face plant into the concrete in april, then they turned pink. Now they are half grey near the gums, fading to white at the tips.
Dentist said leave it alone unless the gums start to swell.
Will they ever go white again?
Hi Joe - Sometimes the teeth can return to health and the discoloration will improve. It's really hard to tell what will happen - sometimes the discoloration will go away or it may stay until the tooth finally falls out and the permanent one comes in.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment, Joe!
My 2 year old son had a fall and hit his front tooth about 5 months ago, 2 weeks after the tooth went slightly grey. We took him to the dentist who just said to keep an eye on it. Over the last couple of weeks the tooth has become alot darker, should I be concerned? Also is the tooth likely to become darker still or is there a chance it will become a little lighter in colour?
Many thanks
Carla
Hi Carla - It could improve, but I wouldn't bet on it. The fact that it has continually gotten darker makes me think that it may eventually die. It's hard to tell what will happen with the color in the future. Sometimes these teeth do return to health.
If you don't mind the discoloration, the best thing to do is to follow the advice of your dentist and keep an eye on it to see what happens.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment, Carla!
Hi Tom,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Is there anything that can be done about the colour of my sons tooth? I know its only his baby tooth but I feel so sad when I see his almost black tooth, knowing he is likely to have it for another 5 years.
I just wandered if there was anything a dentist could do to make it white again without my son having to have anesthetic?
Many thanks
Carla
Hi Carla - I'm not sure what a dentist would be able to do without anesthetic. An option may be to place some white filling material over the tooth, but that may not mask the color too well if the tooth is really dark. Your best option would be to go to a pediatric dentist and see if they have any other options for you. I hope everything works out - keep us updated.
I hope that helps - Thanks for your comment, Carla. Let me know if you have any other questions.
My 7 year old daughter hit her front tooth on the head of a playmate while bouncing on a trampoline. It bled around the gums immediately after and started turning color the next day (I can't really figure out what color it is, as there are varying shades - brown, grey, purple). Have you ever heard of a tooth changing color so quickly after being hit? The tooth was a little loose already. I would guess it was going to fall out on its own in the next few months. Is there harm in waiting for it to fall out on its own vs. getting it pulled?
Thanks for any input!
Hi Melody - Sometimes the teeth do change color very quickly. Since it does involve an injury, it really would be best to have your daughter's dentist take a look at it and let you know if it needs to come out. When a tooth is traumatized like that, there's always a possibility that it could get infected, depending on the severity of the injury. Your dentist will be able to make the best decision for your daughter regarding how you should proceed.
I wish I could be of more help, Melody. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for your comment!
My 9 year old son lost his first tooth a few months ago. His top two front teeth have been loose since then and just last week blood appeared around the gum of one of those teeth and the next day the tooth was a light grey color. The color is actually improving but yesterday he lost the non-grey tooth and it appears the dental pulp is still attached and that he just lost the crown. The tooth/ crown that came out had not a speck of blood on it but instead of the usual gap you expect to see when a tooth has been lost he has what appears to be a tiny red tooth made of tissue, which I'm assuming is the dental pulp. Have you heard of this happening before? I've called his dentist to make an appointmnet but hoped to be able to reassure my son in the meantime. Thanks for any information you might have!
Sheri
Hi Sheri - Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - I had finals last week!
If the teeth were already loose, I am guessing that all that's probably left of the teeth are the crowns and not very much root (it usually ends up dissolving as the permanent tooth works its way out.) Does it feel like there's anything hard left where the tooth came out? If it's all soft, I am betting that it's just gum tissue and that the permanent tooth is ready to come through. I haven't heard of that, but I'm lacking in the experience department
. Your dentist may have see something similar and can let you know what to do. It sounds like both teeth are ready to come out though.
I hope that helps - Thanks for your comment! Let me know if you have any other questions, Sheri.
hi tom,, i am 19 year old i had a milk teeth ( that is front teeth) inside of the mouth.. doctor advised me to remove that teeth but it is strong and white ,it is compulsory to remove that?..and what happens if we remove a strong and healthy teeth. ( i had only one milk teeth and i don't want plant a teeth..)
Hi Ashika - If there is a permanent tooth underneath it, then it would be a good idea to remove it. If you have a congenitally missing tooth and there is not a permanent tooth under the baby tooth, then I would think that you should keep the baby tooth for as long as it will last in your mouth.
I hope that helps - Thanks for your comment, Ashika. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello Tom. My 21 month old daughter had a bad bang today and hit her two front teeth. The doctor said that the teeth were injured and that we just have to wait and see. Is it possible that even with an injury to the teeth and some gum bleeding, the tooth might not change color at all?
Thanks,
M
Hi Mary - It is possible, everyone's teeth react in different ways. Sometimes, waiting and watching the tooth is the best way to assess the damage that was done. Hopefully her teeth stay healthy. Good luck!
I hope that helps - Thanks for your comment, Mary. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Here are photos of my son's teeth. He's 2, this just started yesterday. He hasn't hit his mouth on anything. We were thinking some sort of mineral deficiency? He's on iron drops for an iron deficiency, and just started Ionic Silver yesterday. Really want to find out why they are turning color! I have healthy teeth and didn't have cavities until I was 17. His teeth were not like this on Sunday.
Hi Nikki - I couldn't get the link to work to see the pictures. The only thing that comes to mind right now would be that the iron drops are contacting his teeth and discoloring them. I've heard of that occurring before, but it should be temporary and go away if the drops are stopped.
I hope that helps - Thanks for your comment, Nikki. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Tom. I posted on your sharkteeth article in the past weeks and was just browsing around. Same son also had this in the front tooth that fell out normally. He was 3 when he injured it at a birthday party. It looked bruised and gradually over 3 years faded back to white. By the time he lost it, you could barely tell that it had been bruised although the tooth looked terrible--like a cavity from the gum to middle of tooth--for the first year.
By the way, this child also has a floating tooth in the roof of his mouth that they are keeping an eye on and I fear most of his teeth are just all kinds of crooked. However, my daughter's teeth are near perfect(Thank goodness!) She's 12 and her worst issue is a slight overbite.
Hi Heidi - Thanks for sharing your son's experience. I'm sure it will help calm the fears of some parents who come across this article wondering if there is hope after their child's tooth has turned dark from an injury.
Good luck getting the rest of his teeth straightened out!
My 6 year old daughter's front tooth is coming in slightly discolored (gray). She has had no injuries to her mouth. What could this be. I dont want her growing up with self-conscience issues. If it is permantly discolored can it be fixed?
Hi Kat - Most permanent teeth are not as white as the baby teeth, so if it's a minor discoloration, that could be the reason. Also, certain antibiotics can cause discoloration, such as tetracycline staining. Another possibility is that she fell on something when she was a child and it may have caused damage to the permanent tooth without causing much of a problem with the baby tooth.
I hope that helps - I will try to research this more and write a post on it in the future. Thanks for your comment, Kat - Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Tom..I m 21 year old..at the age of 10 one of my front teeth(lower jaw) got broken...a very little part of it got broken...and from a past 3 weeks the gum of that tooth is getting darkend nd there is a slight movement in the tooth...so i went to a doctor..doctor said me that due to that breakage my tooth got infected nd she adviced to remove the tooth and put a cap taking the support of the next 2 teeth....and if not its going to spread to the next teeth also....
Is der any other possible treatments??kindly advice
My son's tooth is every bit as dark as the picture, however his accident (a bike injury) only occurred 9 days ago. Should I be concerned that it has turned dark so quickly?
Hi Tom,
..) Is there any way I can make my tooth not be loose, I'm so scared that it is going to fall out, please help. Thank you
I'm 19 years old and one of my teeth turned a purplish color about a month ago, it has no pain or anything like that, but I just ate some chicken and now it's loose! What could be wrong with me and how can I fix this at home temporarily until I can afford the dentist? (I'm financially struggling so the dentist is a hard spot
~Amber
Hi Amber - A loose, purple tooth could mean a lot of things. It's very likely that there is a problem with the nerve inside of the tooth. An x-ray would be able to help pinpoint the problem. If you live near a dental school, you could try going in there. Many schools will diagnose a problem and give you your treatment options for a small fee.
Thank you Tom, I will definitely check that out. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to make sure it does not fall out? I have been eating only soft foods, any other ideas? Thanks
Hello, I am 14 years old and I saw dark\ silvery spots on my teeth. When I found this out i immediately started brushing the area's that the dark spots are in for about 20-30 minutes. Is there anyway these dark spots can be reversed? I am very,very,very worried. I have not had a mouth injury so far. But I have been sick over the week end if that helps, witch it probably doesn't but hey. And also, these are permanent teeth and nothing is growing underneath them. please help! :\
Hi Felicia - I'm not quite sure what they would be. It would be a good idea to call your dentist and speak with them to find out what's going on. Brushing them for 20-30 minutes usually isn't a good idea because the abrasives in the toothpaste can start to scrape away your enamel.
Hello Tom, Thanks for the very informative article.
I have a 3 1/2 year old and she lost 3 of her front top teeth when she fell on a rock in a waterfall on a trek.
she had developed an gum infection for her upper gums and was on clindamycin for 2 weeks along with an antibiotic mouthwash two times a day.
3 months after the incident now her lower front teeth ( 6 of them ) have turned yellow.
Does that mean that her lower front teeth also were affected in the fall? or is it possibly because of the antibiotic mouthwash? I would really appreciate your opinion.
thanks

I am a 16 year old teenager. I have noticed that my tooth has changed colors. I had my wisdom teeth removed maybe a month ago. The cut my cheek and i am beginning to think that they caused damage to a tooth that i have had filled. What should i do? Go to the dentist and see what they say, or...what? I just need some advice. Soon! it hurts really bad too. Thanks for your time.
Hi Gabrielle - A dentist will be able to tell you what's going on with that tooth. If your wisdom teeth were starting to come up, it may have made it harder to clean the back side of the teeth just in front of the wisdom teeth, and could have caused a cavity/damage to them. A dentist will be able to let you know for sure. Good luck!
Hi Tom,
My 7 year old daughter has two new teeth coming in on the bottom and I noticed yesterday that the tops of those two teeth seem to be a bit grey as well as slightly see through. She has never had any sort of injury to her mouth or her teeth. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
My daughter (aged 5) became ill the day before yesterday with a cough and a fever which I have put down to a viral infection and am treating normally. Today she declared she had her first wobbly tooth and by the end of the day I have noticed that it is going dark grey. It's very wobbly and only causing her a little discomfort when she drinks. I am wondering whether her illness could be down to a tooth infection or if it's normal for a tooth to go black when so close to falling out?
So my 7 month old got her first two teeth days apart (bottom centers) and about 1 week after breaking through she tried to crawl and fell into the corner of the wall. It looked as if she hit the side of her face but after waiting it out, there was no bruising or anything. Now about 2 1/2 weeks later the top of these two teeth were suddenly extremely dark gray (like a #2 pencil!). We took her to the doctor and they felt it was trauma. The very next day the gray has cleared up more and more hour after hour. What would cause this to be quick? I thought traumatized teeth didn't necessarily turn white again for weeks or months?
Hi Tom,
I have a 5yr with hypocalcification on both of her bottom molars. Would it be best to treat them now or keep a close eye on them for several months? She has been seen by her dentist and was informed to treat them now better than later.
Hi Tom,
My toddler smashed his teeth into my nightstand long ago, then his tooth went gray for about 3-4 months, then back to normal. Now, over 6 months later, he has developed a cavity in that same tooth. Are these two often related or is this just our circumstance? By the way, I never had an x-ray done following his episode, I simply looked on the computer and figured that I would just allow his tooth to fall out naturally. I did not, however, think that he would end up with a cavity.
Thank you for your help.

My son is 8yrs old and has started wrestling. He always wears a mouth guard when competing but not always when practicing I have notice within the last few days his top front tooth is turning a blue color. Could have tramatized this tooth during a practice?
thanks for the info... my 5yr old fell on the curb of the sidewalk and had a big bruise on her upper gum, it went away but over time her front tooth has become slightly gray, as this is her baby tooth dentist said to just keep an eye on it and her permanent tooth should be okay!
Tom you are soooo cute!!! I loved your article and it was very informative. My 3 year old son is experiencing a grey tooth after a fall and we see the dentist tomorrow. I'm a nurse and researched everything and then called his pediatric dentist but just seeing your article was by far the best I have come across! Thank you so much!
