Oh, how I wish I could say that the loose tooth is due to one of my children losing a baby tooth. Unfortunately, it's because one child ran his head (accidentally) into the other child's mouth.
It's Vincent. The one who already has had some trauma to his two front teeth. The first happened about 3 years ago on Superbowl Sunday. There was a slight fracture to one tooth, and bruising to the other. Today, he fractured the one that was previously bruised. He actually bumped two teeth, but the one next to the fracture tooth is fine. It bled a little, but is fine. The fractured tooth is ever so slightly loose, which is good.
For now, we do nothing. He gets to eat soft foods for the next week or so. We'll go back for another look in a month. Worse case scenario, if the pain continues, the doctor recommends we pull both of the front teeth, since they are both fractured. The point is to make sure we don't let any infections interfere with his permanent teeth.
Of course, this happens on the day Vincent and I are planning to fly to Los Angeles. Sheesh!
