Hi all. My two-year-old DS is having to have his two front teeth removed tomorrow following an incident at the park. He fell towards the end of a long slide, shattering both teeth when he hit the metal. Lots of blood and lots of screaming. It has been a very long few days with many trips to hospitals and dental clinics hours away.
I am heartbroken for him and would give anything for this not to be happening for him. He is a very beautiful, bright and confident little boy, attends nursery and soccer group for toddlers, and I worry about what this will mean for him. I understand that he will have a large gap until his adult teeth come in later. Does anybody have an experience of a little one losing teeth at this young age as a result of trauma? How did general anaesthetic affect your children? Did adult teeth come later with any problems? I imagine this will affect diet and speech for some time but hope he will quickly adjust. I think all fun will have to be banned in our household after this.
