Hi there

My little 20mth old daughter has just had a nasty fall, and hit her mouth on the handle of her pushchair. It seems that she has pushed her front tooth back a little, and it bled like mad. Has this happened to anybody else, I am feeling so terrible and cant stop thinking about it. Will her tooth be alright, I dont think I could bare if something happens to it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I think I'd take her to a dentist, or ring one up and ask if you should.

Sorry, I don't know a lot about it, but I think you are better off getting expert advice here.

Cheers

Hey
I took her to the docs today, and hes checked her all out and the tooth has been moved back a bit but its still tightly in her mouth, phew, but she also split her gum, so is very sore, and face all swollen. What a lesson for me to learn though.

Hi Breez

I hope she is feeling a bit better in the morning, she must be really really sore, poor thing

Im also thinking a trip to the dentist also, just to make sure that everything is OK. I reckon keep up with the neurofen too!!

Sending her lots of cuddles from me and the girls

Hi
Ouch.. that would hurt. A few months ago Ella pulled one of our dining chairs back onto her self, and her top teeth bled, it wasnt as bad because it didnt push the tooth back but it bled and her top lip and nose were all puffy and bruised, i gave her one of those water icypoles in the plastic (unopened) and she chewed that, everytime it started to defrost i'd stick it back in the freezer for a while then give it to her again.. it was great for bringing the swelling down.

Hope your lil girl feels ok.
