Please tell me that you have had worse!

Ds4 is 10 month old and a bit of a vicious chewer when it comes to teething. Today he tried to chew a metal stick which is completely my fault as the toy ride on car had it’s steering wheel falling off hence it was just a pointy metal stick which I had completely forgot about. Anyway he must have slipped on it and it ran up above his front top tooth right into his gum taking a chinc out of it and leaving a bloody dent (and slightly filed down tooth). I called the pharmacist to see if I can get anything for it but was told no as it is in the mouth and it will heal.
I can’t stop checking and shocking myself as it just looks awful. He managed to eat dinner and his milk but oh my god.
It doesn’t help that I am already on the edge from trying to pack up to leave for holiday in the morning. Keep thinking what if it gets infected while we are abroad.

Please tell me your child has had worst injuries!!!

One of mine has two smashed front teeth. They look like fangs.

But if you didn’t even get close to a rush to A&E I think you will find this is very minor compared to many people’s experiences.

Thanks, I would have taken him down if it wasn’t dp talking sense into me saying there is probably nothing they could do to it. Even if it damaged the tooth. I can not believe how I’m not more experienced in this having 3 other feral kids. Just seemed to have been very lucky and not a lot of injuries so far. Have a feeling this one is going to be the end of me
