Saturday's ER visit


Max was running around the house, when he fell face first, mouth open, into the corner of the end table by our couches. There was a lot of blood, a lot of crying, and then I saw it...the tooth. It wasn't knocked out completely, but was pushed up and backwards into his gums. So now he is snaggle-tooth Max. It isn't the best picture of his teeth, but you can tell that his front two teeth are no longer in line with eachother. We'll be heading to the dentist this week to see if there is anything that needs to be done, but the ER doctor didn't seem too concerned since it wasn't wiggling, he isn't in any extreme pain anymore, and after all, it is a baby tooth. Poor Max! We still think he is cute though, snaggle-toothed and all.

Similar thing happened to me with a 2 1/2 year old. I don't remember it fixing itself but he is almost 6 and I can't tell it ever happened.

Good luck.

Poor boy! All three of my kids are missing chunks out of both front teeth. Must be a toddler thing. My uncle David actually knocked out his two front teeth when he was two years old, so he had a toothless grin until his was about eight and they grew back in. Oops!

Max, the poor guy never gets a break. First you lock all the cupboard doors so he can't Pilage anymore, then his teeth. We love him no matter what
