    Is it true that if a tooth's nerve dies, and the tooth remains in place, that the tooth can turn blue?

    Question #94265. Asked by BaronBatty. (Apr 03 08 8:26 AM)

    		Deep grayish blue discoloration in the dentin (the material beneath the enamel) is usually hereditary, but teeth may also turn gray if they break or are knocked so hard that the roots die or if they were exposed frequently to the antibiotic tetracycline while they were still developing.
