My poor son had a fall at indoor soccer (on his face) as his legs got tangled up under him. I leapt up and ran to him as fast as I could and comforted him, but I knew it would be bad. Lots of blood, and upon inspection his front tooth was bent back. Took him to the emergency dentist and they did X-rays. Tooth was snapped/broken so they had to remove it. Root is still there, and it's a baby tooth so the adult tooth SHOULD eventually push that out and slot into place....but still, the poor lad was traumatized by the whole thing.
We took him to get a toy as he was super brave at the dentist, and he had some ice cream and other treats at home to help him feel better. Tooth Fairy visited him, so that's a silver lining he liked.
Poor mite, I hope he's okay.
Thanks. Yeah, he's a little trooper. Took the freezing needle with little to no fuss, and after an initial bout of crying from the injury itself, after that he was only crying about possibly losing his tooth...we reassured him that he had another permanent tooth to come in yet and not to worry....fun fact, you can SEE the adult teeth above the baby teeth in an X-ray at that age. It's macabre.
