Sam has fallen, well i say fallen more like pushed by Archie in play and has fell face first onto the floor with his dummy in.

Picked him up and his mouth was pouring with blood.

Anyhow had a good luck and it looks like hi 2 front teeth have gone up into the gum slightly and the string thing that joins the lip to the gum is cut and a couple of fat lips.

Do i need to be worried about the teeth? Its only very slightly and they dont seem to have changed position but are slightly further up than before.

Any replies greatly appreciated xx

if it helps I saw that happen to a wee boy on some programme (supernanny or something) and he had to go to dentist and it corrected itself and there was no need for treatment.

maybe just go and get him checked by the dentist anyway just to be sure.

hope hes ok sounds like a sore one

I'm not sure but it wont harm taking him to be checked over!

Hope it's not too sore for him x

Thanks for replying hun.

I am taking him to a dentist anyway on Thurs.

I was a bit worried cause it once happened to my nephew but his went all the way up into the gum, the dentist had to take them out xx

Aww, poor little man I'm sure i've heard of this happening too. Not sure about the treatment but its always best just to get them checked over.

Your poor nephew, I didn't realise they'd take them out

Take him in hun, just for a PA to see what if any damage is done. Not too worried with the mouth bleed as it will heal pretty quickly. I am concerned that his top anteriors have shifted. The sooner the better too. For now..just put a cold compress on the upper lip and apply some pressure. If you can't get into the dentist tonight..please try to get in tomorrow if you can. Failing that, take him in to see a doc hun. The little piece of skin attached to his gum tissue is not a big deal, actually is a good thing, as most of them pull down the gum tissue and cause root exposure in the long run. Do not wiggle his teeth nor allow him to with his tongue. xxx

He took them out because they rotted in the gum and never came back down
Thank god its not like that! xx

When I was a dental nurse a few years back - god i have some career paths lol

anyway back to the point, when i was working there I saw this alot and there was nothing that could be done they will just pop back out when they are ready x

Ok now i am a bit worried. Just had a good look in his mouth as hes asleep and th gum front and back of the teeth seems to have come away from the teeth. Dont know if they are wobbly cause i havent tried. Although he didnt seem to have any problems eating a polo

Most and all tissue will reattach itself to the tooth hun. Keep his mouth clean, and within about 2-3 days you will see it back to normal. Did you manage to get an early appt for him with the dentist?

it will reattach itself hun if it was knocked out and you had taken him they would of slotted it back in to the gum x

cant u phone dentist and try and get him seen 2moro morning? or is there an emergency dentist u can take him to?
i know u have appt thurs but u dont want to be worrying between now and then best to get him seen sooner if for nothing else to put ur mind at ease

Well he has appointment on Thurs anyway for a check up but i am gonna see if they will have a quick look tomorrow as i have to go

They wanna do root canal treatment on me but i think am just gonna have it pulled. I cant cope with the treatment my fear is too bad xx

no advice mara but i do hope he is ok x

Omg really! I didnt know they could do this! Is it only with the baby teeth i presume? xx

they can do it with adult teeth too but has to be quick so the hole dosnt start to close x

If the root is still present..yes...you put the tooth in a cold glass of milk..bite down on a sterile piece of gauze or wadded up kleenex and rush it to a dentist..they can reinsert it. But the key is not to wait for an appointment...you just show up and I am certain that any dentist worth his salt would get you in immediately. xxx

aww poor sam. this happend to me when i was little(park swing streight into the mouth i think, had that many accidents my mum cant remember which one caused it lmao)they went right into the gum too had to have them removed

hope he is ok xx
