9 month old chipped his front tooth

Hey ladies ,

We woke up this morning and realised our little boy has chipped his front tooth. I've booked the dentist but it's in 2 weeks time. I feel awful. I know he's going to have this now until his teeth grow in but I feel so guilty. I'm always checking to make sure he's okay so why didn't I see this? He hasn't complained or anything. He also grinds his teeth quite a bit and also chews everything in sight.

Am I bad a mother ? I feel like one. Also is it quite common for little ones to chip their teeth ?

We have just noticed my 9 month old tooth isn’t as long as it was we don’t know if she’s chipped it I feel terrible worried now one will be longer than the other c

I was a mess when I found out. He's been absolutely fine and we've had no problems. Still waiting for the dentist appointment but I would suggest booking am appointment so they can just check it over.
