Why is my dog's broken tooth grey, shaky, and bleeding gums?

Question

My pup has bleeding gums below one of her pre molar (next to the canine in the lower jaw), and a small fragment of the tooth was also broken. There is no swelling though. And the tooth itself is shaky and a bit greyish in color. What could be the reason and should I see a vet? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 18 days old | 45 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This does warrant a visit to your veterinarian as that color of the tooth suggests that the tooth may be dead and needs to be removed. I recommend that you have Luna evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They would be able to look at this closely and decide what would be best. Good luck and have a great day!
