Dog with a dark tooth

[trina]

Hi Everyone!

The tip of my dog's tooth is purplish in color. He does not experience any pain and has been chewing his rawhide bone like a madman lately.

Does anyone know if there is cause for concern? Could this be a sign of a rotting tooth? The base of the tooth is still completely white and he is only 6 years old.

Any information is much appreciated. Thank you!!!
