We are spending lots of money on medical
expenses this year! This morning we added to that with an
emergency visit to a pediatric dentist. Lex and our 3yr old
were playing happily then somehow his chin collided with her
head, resulting in a lot of blood from his mouth and a loose
tooth. Luckily she’s ok! Alan came home quickly to watch the
girls while I took Lex to a new dentist who was very nice and
said the tooth is probably just “bruised” (he had some fancy
medical term that I don’t remember) but may potentially be
broken. We will be going back tomorrow as a family so I can
hold his body while Alan holds his head and the dentist takes
x-rays. We tried today, but Lex was none too keen to sit still
for me. I hope it heals and doesn’t fall out! The 3yr old was
very excited that Lex has a loose tooth and was telling him
that the tooth fairy will come and give him a coin soon. We’ll
see!
