My baby is only 6 months old and got little tooth stumps at the bottom at about 4 months. One of the teeth has always looked like it had not come through quite properly and has been less bulky looking than the other. This morning I noticed that a large section of the middle of the tooth was missing!! This leaves two little spikes at each side of the tooth and gap in the middle. It really looks broken and is very sharp. I am devastated! We are going to the dentist tomorrow. I am confused as there was no bang or impact or anything. I keep playing in my mind what could have happened. The baby does have a few harder teething rings and also perhaps she chewed one of the the zips on the pushchair? Could these things have done it, or could it have been a structural weakness? It seems so unlikely that it would be broken so early.
I'm really, really upset. Does anyone have any experience of this?
