My daughter is soon to be 5. Just the past two days I noticed her two bottom teeth are loose, bleeding a little and now are going gray? I know it is soon time for the tooth fairy and that loosing baby teeth is normal, however, is the graying normal?

No...I don't know, thats why I am asking. She is my first child...I have never experienced the falling out of teeth before.

She did not fall...she did not bump her tooth. We both noticed it was loose yesterday...as the day went on it started looking gray. It actually fell out last night after I posted this question. I'm making an appointment with her dentist today. I have a feeling the dentist is going to be dying inside as I am going to be the over paranoid mom. :) lol

There are many reasons this can happen. Like how long has the tooth been loose? How much bleeding is going on at the base of her teeth? From a another parents point of view, I would try to let them come out on there own . If they are still bleeding in a week I would call or try to see a dentist.

My older daughter had some teeth that looked gray when they were loose and when they came out they appeared to be decayed. Perhaps they have been loose so long that a cavity has developed. No worries. They will be out soon. The tooth fairy brings golden dollars at our house.

the gray might be caused by blood supply loss, but they shouldn't be a Dramatic gray, that is bad.
And at 5, I don't think it's normal to be losing teeth. Useally, they start that aroudn 7-8.
I would call the dentist, see what they think.

It happens, but its not good. It means that your child has a pretty severe decay problem. If your child still has her baby teeth, have the tooth pulled or repaired and teach the kid healthy dental care habits. Tooth decay spreads, so it's important to take care of the problem before the permanent teeth start coming in.
Also, it may be time to look at the kid's diet. Lots of sweets can cause tooth decay. If your child is often ill, this could also do it; the medicine that we give kids when they are sick is clear full of sugar.

She must have bumped her mouth. Grey is not normal. It is a sign that the teeth have died which isn't good. This doesn't just happen when they loss their teeth. Something has happened to her two teeth. By 5 years old your daughter should be going to the dentist for check ups. He can advise you what to do and give her the proper treatment that 5 years old need to protect their future and present teeth.

if they are loose teeth, they will have less blood flowing through them, and they will look a tint of gray. If teeth other than the loose ones are turning gray, go to a dentist

When I read the title I thought you said "lose a tooth after braces" I was like "oh my god" haha. It just looks like its loose but its not. Its because braces just came off and the teeth will be very easy to move. Just wear your retainer for the amount of time your orthodontist told you to and your good ;) Hope that helped :D

If it was normal you wouldn't be asking about it now would you?
