2 year old's front tooth

[MomOfTwoGrls]

My two year, two months ago, was running and trip and smack her face on the ground, chipping a tooth. We tood her to the dentist the dentist took xrays, no damage other than the chip.

Well, today two months later the tooth next to the chipped one is grayish tint.  What will the dentist do to the tooth if I take her back in.  I mean its a baby tooth that will fall out anyway, should I take her in.  

Advice please.

Hi - the graying is because the tooth has "died".  If the tooth is not causing any pain and there is no evidence of swelling then don't worry.  Aethetically it may not be pleasing and the dentist can pull it but I would leave it in if it will stay.   I agree with pertykitty - now is a great time for a check up and cleaning

My 4 year old has a gray tooth as well.  It just came on.  I'm planning to take him to the dentist.  He's very active so I'm sure it was caused from a fall.  I hope!

most likely the tooth is grey from the damage of the fall. if she doesnt have a bubble above the gums and is in no pain im sure you will just have to accept a grey tooth until it falls out. but if she is almost 3 not a bad time to take her for her first check up!

I am not sure what the dentist would do. I had a tooth that I bumped as a child and it turned gray. I didn't lose it for about 1 year.
