DS (3) fell down the stairs yesterday and banged his mouth. Gums above front top teeth bled.
Bleedng did stop fairly quickly and his teeth are still there - I could not feel any wobbling although I was being quite gentle I suppose. He had some calpol and a sleep for an hour. Seemed okay after that and was not complaining of pain just that his mouth "ached" a bit. Ate okay but I gave him just soft food.
Gum today still looks very bruised but he seems fine - let me brush them gently. DH thinks he will be fine but I am still really worried.
Should I get him to the dentist today or am I being PFBish?
Could his teeth be damaged anyway?
