Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the XXXXXXX tooth with grayish black discoloration can be because of the internal resorption or pink tooth. Nothing to be panic, the tooth is XXXXXXX because of its normal root resorption. The milk teeth will start shaking once the roots of it gets resorted by the erupting permanent teeth. Nothing to worry. Get the tooth extracted. If possible upload the images of the tooth for better diagnosis and treatment plan.
