My daughter has asked me to find out whether her 3 yr old's chipped tooth can safely be left till they get to Britain in June?
Its a top front tooth chipped on the inside in a fall in January. Dentist next day-said 'Nothing to be done' It was sensitive. then better but got periodically very painful-
3 days ago he fell again causing swelling and a white spot; then yesterday it became an abcess. So he's been given a course of anti-biotics.
The dentist now says he'll have to have 3 sittings with local anaesthetics to deaden the milk tooth. My daughter thinks this is a bit much and wants to be sure she's getting best advice- Would it be safe to rely on the anti-biotics for time being and get treatment in Britain in June? or is it a risk to his health and to the underlying permanent tooth to leave it that long?
( as a family we are always extra careful about blood poisoning in the mouth 'cos my father died of it years ago- and yet my daughter tries to use Homeopathic remedies when possible)
Can anyone out there give advice on this question? Thankyou.
