I called his dentist (who he had just had a visit with that morning) she said its really best not to do anything so as to not jeopardize his adult tooth. She did say his adult tooth may be delayed by a year when the others start coming in.

Face hit the pavement and knocked out one of his front teeth root and everything. I was happy that the whole thing came out so he didn't have to have any further procedures, but upset to find out that the tooth will be delayed in coming in now which means at least 6 more years without a front tooth. Our dentist said that he didn't recommend doing anything cosmetic as it could result in more problems. Sorry to sound vain, but I don't want him to look totally goofy through Kindergarten and elementary school. I feel so guilty as the accident could have been avoided, but it is nice to know that I'm not the only one.SAMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-91414455406418973742012-03-23T21:46:09.662-07:002012-03-23T21:46:09.662-07:00TanaMom, what did you decide?

I am also worried about 8 YEARS without teeth. Did you get a partial for your three year old?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-84921732910100966452011-08-28T00:36:45.826-07:002011-08-28T00:36:45.826-07:00Similar incident happened to my toddler a week ago...Similar incident happened to my toddler a week ago: freak accident involving toddler and his uncle tripping over each other left my 2 year old minus his two front teeth. Actually, they turned out to be imbedded in the bone (!) under his gums and had to be extracted. The surgery was today and he is doing just fine so far. Me, not so much. I am conflicted about whether to await his adult teeth in 6-8 YEARS - or pursue the option of having a partial made for him. While I know that he (and I) will get used to the absence of his two front teeth, I am worried about possible insensitive comments from kids and adults as he gets older - and what that might do to his self confidence. I think having teeth over the next 5 years or so as he starts school may be important for more than just asthetics. I would love to hear others experiences/thoughts on this topic.TanaMomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-59811292927378813212011-08-01T10:54:06.312-07:002011-08-01T10:54:06.312-07:00This just happened to my 3 year old daughter this ...This just happened to my 3 year old daughter this weekend. Had an accident at a birthday party and had her 2 front teeth knocked out, 1 out completely and the other chipped in half. We had to have the second tooth extracted. A horrible experience but about an hour after the extraction she was back to her normal playful self! I think my husband and I are more traumatized by the experience.

It's bloody and I'm scared as hell, so does my mom, but luckily it was not that serious. The wonderful dentist did a great job restoring my broken teeth. Bottom line is, accidents do happen, but that doesn't mean they're not preventable. Always be careful.Ed Mcgoldrickhttp://www.pinecreekdental.com/teeth-whitening-colorado-springs/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-5359875948230070442010-10-08T02:44:12.634-07:002010-10-08T02:44:12.634-07:00Hi, my son is also starting to have her baby tooth...Hi, my son is also starting to have her baby tooth and it's a heartbreaking situation to see him cry whenever a tooth starts to say hi. I'm excited for he can eat solid food yet there were also a lot of implications that a baby should face such as having accidents, just like O. Right now, I'm looking for <a href="http://dentistidentity.com/" rel="nofollow">dental websites</a> that can help me guide my child along the way. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope O's ok.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034321901765910089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-52323043946646596852009-09-29T20:01:09.425-07:002009-09-29T20:01:09.425-07:00The same kind who has to fish a wheel out of her s...The same kind who has to fish a wheel out of her son's nose!Chi-town mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01594283958220417070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-30624274630158068042009-09-29T12:20:07.540-07:002009-09-29T12:20:07.540-07:00Wow!! what kind of mom would let this happen to he...Wow!! what kind of mom would let this happen to her kid???!!! ;)mrs.aldermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960465241694384970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459883743991829754.post-79723592677124778672009-09-29T08:21:13.239-07:002009-09-29T08:21:13.239-07:00OK, her post kinda made me queasy...Poor O!
