Answers:
The tooth could be grey because of the black filling. Please refer to the section on "Amalgam Fillings" on the link below. Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which could be a health hazard. The current thought on amalgam fillings is that they should be replaced with composite restorations.

Since you aren't having pain, I don't think your tooth is dying or dead, which is another reason for a tooth turning grey.Health Question & Answer

maybe the tooth turned grey because of the filling - the colour of the filling shines through. this happened to me.
otherwise a tooth turning grey can also mean that the nerves in the tooth are dead, but in that case you'd feel great pain and the dentist wouldn't tell you it's nth. Health Question & Answer

i think that means the tooth is dead. this happened to a friend of mine on one of his front teeth, i believe because he hit it pretty hard on something, and he had to have the tooth removed. sorry, im not trying to scare you. this is just what i think. good luck!Health Question & Answer
