So last weekend, Kristjan was outside playing all day. He took a few tumbles on the cement and his face got scraped up a bit. After dinner Sunday night, he was back outside. He was bent over pushing a huge toy truck, when he tripped and fell. I was outside watching the boys and looked over at Kristjan just as he fell flat on his tummy and the front of his face slammed against the sidewalk. His lip immediately puffed up and started bleeding. He ended up cutting the inside of his lip with his front tooth. Inside he went for the rest of the evening and cuddled with his daddy. Later in the week the swelling finally went down and he would only complain about his mouth hurting when brushing his teeth. Well, on Thursday I noticed that Kristjan's front right tooth looked dark and dirty!! I'm super strict with the boys on brushing their teeth, so I was confused (thinking that maybe plaque grew on his tooth overnight?). Pete took a look and decided Kristjan should have the tooth checked out. Friday morning, off we went to find a new dentist closer to home and have the tooth checked out (turned out their original dentist was out of town until late next week). Kristjan got checked out and sure enough, the nerve is completely dead and the tooth needs to come out. And there's a possibility that Kristjan may have damaged his permanent tooth as well. So in about two weeks, we take him back to meet the pediatric dentist and discuss the minor "operation", then have another appointment to have it pulled. Fun Stuff!
