DD2 age 4 banged her teeth last week...

She fell outside and hit her teeth on the ground(she had put her arms inside her coat!). She complained for a few days that they
hurt to bite with.

Today i noticed that both top front teeth look a slightly browny colour. And they do feel like they move a little.

Should i take her to see the dentist? Or just leave them as they are baby teeth?

if they're moving, you should take them to the dentist. actually when this happened to dd1 i took her anyway, and the tooth wasn't moving.
it's in case of infection, really, i gather.
apparently the colour can change for a wee while yet, dd1's is grey, which is such a shame. although if i squint i can kid myself that it's getting whiter again.

Ds swung the swing seat back and it came back (of course) and hit him in the mouth.

His front tooth went grey. I took him to the dentist, who pronounced it "dead". Two weeks later it had turned white again. The dentist said that it must have been bruised instead, and not dead.

I should pay a visit to the dentist just to make sure.

Thanks. Will make an appointment tomorrow.

I have a slightly brown/grey tooth from falling on it(well, actually, a friend pulled me off a pile of PE mats at school but forgot to let go before my top half left the mat! landed teeth first on the hall floor!). Unfortunatly was an adult tooth!
