I suppose the only likely explination is that he's knocked it but i'm not aware of it. I can't recall any incident involving his mouth and lots of tears. I assume it would have been a knock that hurt him
Raven if it can take some time to discolour like you describe this may have happened some time ago also. Is this something they'll just leave until his baby teeth decide to fall out? Is it painful for them when biting?
I just called a dentist and they have kids checks at a special time each week so i'll take him for a check and then get advice from there.
It makes me sad, i know it's just one of those things that can happen with children but still...
hun treatment varies, from leaving it be until it falls out or treating the nerve, similar to a root canel but much simpler, you need to be on the look out for pimple on the gum above the tooth which indicated infection.
Oh no i don't want this for my little man. I have this horrible fear of the dentist but i'll have to get over it for the sake of the boys, i don't want the same for them.
Thanks for the info girls, i'll let you know about the advice i get from the dentist.
Don't lose hope yet! DD bumped into DS on the trampoline and 3 weeks later her tooth started going grey - I was heartbroken!
One of the other mums (whose boy had a bad mouth incident and lost one totally) said not to panic yet because it might be ok. When her boy hurt himself one came out, the other went dark but seemed to recover.
And that's exactly what happened to DD! After a few months it's ok again, the right colour came back and you can only tell if you look really really hard.
