Wasn’t sure where to post this, however I’m just seeking some advice or similar experiences!
My toddler, 15 months, had a fall last night and took the full impact on his mouth! Instant screaming and lots of blood. I could see instantly that his front left tooth had become misaligned from the rest of them and his upper lip took quite a bashing. A call to 111 for advice and sent to a&e where they checked him over- no concerns and sent me on my way. I’ve got him a dentist appointment first thing for tomorrow morning.. this afternoon I’ve tried to take another look in his mouth and have noticed a white object protruding from his lip! This was not picked up at the a&e, for the life of me he won’t let me get in there to have a feel of it and I can’t find anything online as to what it could be other than a tooth fragment- although I can’t see any obvious signs of broken/chipped teeth. What could it be? Do I wait for the dentist appointment tomorrow morning or do I try for an emergency dental appointment this evening!?
I’m heartbroken that he’s suffering is teeth have been damaged, but I don’t want to risk infection or anything else! He’s obviously a bit grumpy, he’s back on only soft foods and milk as he can’t eat anything remotely firm, he refuses, but other than that he’s ok in himself.
