DS broke out in an awful rash yesterday and isn't feeling well.
Then about 3:00 A.M. I woke up to my DD screaming. I went into her room and realized she had tried to crawl out of her toddler bed and had fallen. Instead of going out the open part of the bed she had tried to crawl over the small bed rail that goes about halfway down the bed.
When she fell she faceplanted into the wooden toy organizer. :cry: There was blood everywhere and I ran her into the living room and started checking her over. She broke the bottoms of her two front teeth completely off. :cry: :cry: :cry:
I am SO upset! We have an appt with a pediatric dentist at 4:15!!! That was the earliest they could get her in.
She doesn't want her sippy cup at all and she is just wanting to nurse constantly. Well nursing her is incredibly painful because the bottoms of her teeth are so jagged.
If you wouldn't mind send us some good luck, good vibes, a little prayer for the dental appointment.
Thank you!
UPDATE: Okay I am SO not thrilled right now. I decided to see if I could find a second pediatric dentist who might be able to get us in earlier. I did find one and took her in at 11:00. They did x-rays and checked her teeth. The dentist said that she had bruised the roots of the teeth pretty badly and had broken them. She said they were probably going to become discolored :cry: ! She also said that they would probably end up with cavities in them no matter how well I brush. Well then she said that they weren't going to do ANYTHING for the teeth. That the breaks were not significant enough to do anything until A: they get cavities B: they become infected....OMG
I'm really glad I didn't cancel the 4:15 appt with the other dentist. We will be going in for a second opinion.
Oh and poor DD keeps saying "Teeth OUCH! Teeth hurt mommy." and pointing to her teeth. :cry:
