First injury

Well my little one had his first major fall. He face planted and bumped his lip and tooth. His poor lip is pretty swollen. His tooth is a little wiggly and it just came in 2 months ago. Thankfully I was able to call his pediatric dentist for help. Apparently it will reattach the ligaments because it is a brand new tooth. Thank goodness. I’m glad I made that call. We will see them in about a week for a routine appointment. Talking to the doctor put me more at ease. I think I’ll always stress about my kids tho. I’m glad I was able to call him.

I really hope my second isn’t like my first. My first thinks climbing a ladder to the roof is fun. Anytime there is one out we can’t leave it unattended for a second.

Also his eyes are dilated from the optometrist.

Oh no! Poor little guy! It’s so scary when they fall like that. I hope he starts feeling better soon!! I didn’t know ligaments around a tooth can reattach like that. That’s good information to know!

I didn’t know either. I was so worried that he is going to loose his 2 month old tooth. So thankful to call the dentist and was put at ease.

I know right. I always hear you have to watch for it to turn grey but baby teeth are completely different and have bigger blood vessels

My daughter was trying to step up onto the concrete porch and tripped and hit her face a couple weeks ago. I swore she had busted her teeth but thankfully not

Yea he tried climbing a ladder to the second story roof. Luckily we stopped him. But he has climbed to the first story while my husband was on the roof as well as our trailer. I swear I need to be constantly aware. I don’t know what I’m going to do when my youngest starts walking

Thanks!
