Usually kids have tooth issues AFTER Halloween right?? For the past week or so Parker's front tooth has been changing to a dark shade of GRAY! I asked him if he hit it on anything and he has come up with quite a few stories so I'm not sure if I'll ever get to the bottom if it.
Anyway, I took him over to our dentist friend and he said that kids do things like this all the time and not to worry about it. I also read about it online and I saw that in some instances the color will actually come back but it could take months and months to do so. This picture doesn't do it justice...
Oh....Parker! Maybe this happend after he attempted to do a front flip off the toy bin in the family room! He is one CRAZY 3 year old!

Ahh! At least it's not a permanent tooth :) What a crazy kid! He totally reminds me of one of my brothers--always in to things, and always getting hurt.
oh! at least he'll get a new one, i can relate with these issues, they usually belong to little boys =)
Seriously, I hear you! At a recent dentist trip, after cleaning Caroline's teeth he looked at me and said:"Everything is fine, but do you know she has 4 chipped teeth?"
I answered: "I only knew about 2 of them!"
So sad.
Luckily this is a baby tooth. This happened to my oldest when he was 12 and he had to have a root canal and a crown on a front tooth! This is just one of many adventures that occur with boys. Parker is so cute, no one will notice the darker tooth!
This happened to Hans when he was 4years old in Spokane. He tried to jump out of the back of the minivan and grab the handle that pulls it down while in mid-air. He missed the handle and fell on his mouth. There was a little blood but nothing major. A couple weeks later, the gray appeared. He ended up having to have the tooth pulled out, but I have heard cases where the white color actually comes back. My sis-in-law, a dental assistant, said that gray means the blood stopped flowing, and if it starts flowing again, it will turn back to white.
