Toddler knocked front teeth

4 replies

My daughter fell over in a playground earlier and knocked her front teeth. There was some bleeding which stopped quickly so thought it wasnt a big issue but before bed i noticed her gums look knocked back and at least one of her front teeth is a bit wobbly.

It's Sunday tomorrow so not sure where to take her. Is it urgent to see someone tomorrow or is there not much they could do anyway? Could take her to a&e tomorrow bur not sure this is the type of thing they should deal with

Call NHS24, they can make an emergency dental appointment for you.

It isn't an A&E thing.

When this exact thing happened with DD I got an emergency dentist appointment the next day. To be honest there’s not a huge amount that they can do - DD’s tooth died and turned grey but it was otherwise fine and fell out as normal a few years later to make way for her adult teeth.

Soft diet and painkillers

DD whacked her front teeth twice, made a right old mess of them the 2nd time and we went to a and e, who did nothing unfortunately. She got a small abscess not long after the 2nd time and dentist referred her to the dental hospital and we were given the choice to remove them, by the time we got the appointment it was nearly years after the referral and if we left them in and she got more problems, we'd have had to start the whole process again. They'd gone grey and died so we opted for extraction, she was 4 at the time at coped far better than I'd ever imagined with the procedure. Waiting game now to see if she's damaged her adult teeth or not😬
