The tooth has died most likely due to injury. I would not worry about it at this stage. It is a baby tooth and will fall out on it's own anyway. If it doesn't then be sure to have him evaluated by your vet and they will advise you from there.

    Based on the picture, I don't see anything concerning. As long as the permanent teeth appear normal then I don't think it is abnormal. If you have any concerns, have your vet do a dental examine to make sure all the teeth are erupting correctly.
