Hello, firstly want to say thanks for the advice that I have read over the years on various topics. I don't really lurk as such but do read lots of threads when I need to and they're often very helpful. I'm not much of a one got posting very much really.
Anyway, my question is has anyone got any long term experience of having had a milk tooth knocked out? My DS (3 nearly 4) sat on a child sized plastic chair ready to eat his Christmas Day dinner, pulled himself closer to the table and it buckled under him, sending him chin first onto the edge of a wooden table. It knocked a front tooth straight out. I took him to A&E (nice and quiet on Christmas Day, silver linings and all that!) and she was relatively unconcerned, just said he would be gappy for a bit.
Been to our regular dentist today, she tried an X-ray but he moved and she was reluctant to put him through it again. She said damage to the permanent tooth was "possible but not probable." This was too vague for me so I consulted Dr Internet. This suggested similar with varying statistics from small sample sizes quoted.
Have any of you guys had similar happen with your children who now have adult teeth? I know it's anecdotal evidence but I would much appreciate some stories!
