My DS (just 4) fell at school today and hit his mouth and it bled rather alot.
They called and I collected him, by the time I got there he had eaten his lunch of sausage, mash and french beans and pud.
As I was going to collect him it passed through my head to check his teeth, but sadly passed right out again!
At bathtime I thought to check and yep top teeth are wobbly. He was touvhing them in the car and saying ouch earlier, but I am a slack parent and didn't think to look.
He has fallen over alot (he has mobility problems/physical disabilitiies) and one front is very grey the other front a bit - not sure if this is bumps or excessive meds.
I will take him tomorrow but the dentist isn't very sucessful at looking in DS has a fear of medical staff due to all the tests etc he has to have, he is particularly scared of coloured latex gloves and my dentist was wearing them last time. DD usually puts the mirror in whilst DS sits on my lap and the dentist has a bit of a looky.
Any tips or suggestions? Are my adorable DS' teeth going to fall out? Will losing them so young inhibit the growth of second ones? DD didn't lose her top 2 until 6.4yrs.
