Follwing on from my other thread, I'm looking for advice from any parents or dentists who have expreience of this.
We can't see our dentist till at least next week and would like to know the options available.
DD, 22 months, had her 2 top front teeth knocked out yesterday. We don't know exactly how it happened. I have managed to retrieve one of the teeth but was told that there was nothing that can be done.
What should we expect now? Dp has read on US sites about 'spacers' being fitted on very young children to help keep the gap so that the teeth at either side of the gap wont start growing in the way.
It has also been suggested that the dentist might need to xray to see if there is any tooth still left in the gum. If this were the case, it would need to be removed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
