Early today (Christmas Eve) my little boy Bailey (just turned one) had a nasty fall. We are camping in a campervan and decided to put the bottom step up so he couldn't climb up and fall down. Instead he fell face (mouth) first in the top step of the campervan. It's hard metal so it did quite a bit of damage. There was blood everywhere!! I thought at first that he'd bitten his tongue until DP exclaimed "he's lost a tooth"!! OMFG!!! I lost it!!!
We rushed him to the hospital as there was still blood pouring from his mouth and we couldn't see what the damage was. One of his top teeth had been ripped out upwards through the gum and had also torn through the inside of his lip. *are ya cringing yet??*
Anyway, they said that there is nothing to be done. So my poor little mite is going to be toothless until he's around 5 or 6 years old. Then we'll probably have to have him operated on to cut the bone to let the adult tooth come down. Oh...and he'll probably need braces as a teen...
