If you have suddenly noticed that one of your teeth is turning gray, it's time to make an appointment with your dentist. Most teeth that turn gray, do so because of an injury. On rare occasions, teeth will turn gray because of a bacterial infection. Your dentist will be able to pinpoint your problem, and offer you solutions for your graying tooth.

If your child loses one of their baby teeth too early due to trauma or tooth decay, it can take a long time for the permanent tooth to come in. In cases like this, your child's orthodontist will most likely recommend a space maintainer.
