... about wobbly teeth.

My seven year-old son has a wobbly tooth. It's really dangling-by-a-thread wobbly and I'm amazed that it's still hanging on every time he comes home from school or wakes up in the morning.

It's a top tooth just next to the two main front teeth, if that makes a difference.

However in the last couple of days, he's been prevented from doing an after-school sports club and kept off the 'running around games' (his words) at Beavers because 'it might fall out and he might choke on it'!

Has the world gone mad? A wobbly tooth never got you out of PE in my day! Has anyone ever choked on a tooth? Or am I blissfully out of touch with basic common sense?

Enlighten me!

What? I think every kid I went to school with, swallowed a tooth in our infant/junior years. And they all survived.

I would like to see the official stats on serious injuries cause by a wobbly tooth.

Yank it out for him

Fewer things in life more satisfying than the 'doink!' of a dangling tooth being pulled

But No YANBU

Ew, teeth dangling by thread - gross, even on my own children.

My son was never stopped from doing anything due to wobbly tooth. Sounds ludicrous to me!
