Case Description
My daughter, age 7, has a new permanent tooth coming in, but hasn't yet broken the gum line but the gum has just turned dark grey in color. Could this be from the tooth trying to push through? Or is this a sign of infection or something wrong and do we need to see a dentist right away. There is no swelling or pain of any kind.

Are You This Patient?
When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description,
special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more
reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors.
Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

I would be happy to examine your child and take a panorex (full mouth digital x-ray) at no cost to you if you would like to set up a consultation appointment. Pls contact our office at 561-852-7070.
