My ds 9 has a wobbly premolar. When he was brushing his teeth this morning a piece of the tooth (nearest the gum) fell off, and it looks cracked. I think that it might be the new tooth that i can see underneath, but i'm not sure. He says it feels a little sore, but is not painful.

Has anyone noticed this with their dc, or should i be phoning the dentist?

Thanks

hmm. maybe i'll wait until tonight for any dentists around?

Or have i started one of those threads that annoy people because the answer is obvious . Don't think so - shall go and have a look elsewhere.

Still its nice having a conversation with myself. Shame i can't answer it though really

Thanks nailpolish. Think i might do that. I was ok about it this morning when it happened (dh freaked out lol), but have been thinking about it all day. Think i might have stayed too calm, so as to not panic ds iyswim.
Will have another look at it when i pick him up in a minute and then give them a phone.

Obviously it isn't something that is common.

Dd2 had a similar situation with a tooth. The worst thing about it was that the baby tooth came out in three separate bits over a number of weeks so the Tooth Fairy had to pay out three times!

Thanks for the reply. Had another look at it when he came home from school, and i'm sure it is just the new one underneath that i can see, and it isn't hurting him, so will just go along with it for now.

He lost the bit he spat out down the plughole btw , so no money there. Although he did go to bed and ask if the toothfairy would still come even though part of his tooth was missing
