What a week

Well my baby boy is minus one tooth as of yesterday.

He tripped and fell and ate the tile in the doorway. The dentist said that he probably fell with his mouth open. Which does not surprise me because he was crying.

This started because I told him he had to share his drink with his sister.... He threw the cup then threw his head back!!! AWESOME tantrum!!!

Then he gets up and walks over to the timeout corner. Corner said is one that he is not able to see the TV or his fish tank. He is right by the front door and there is tile there. In the process of putting himself in timeout he tripped over his feet. (I knew something like this was going to happen, Tibial Torsin)He was upset so he was crying.

I thought he just had a busted lip. NO!! He had that to but his tooth was cracked vertical on the right side and shattered on the left!!!

I clean up the blood and try to get it together.

I Google 24 hour dentist and find one an hour away. I called at about 610pm and got a call back at about 730 the next morning!!! WTH!!

Wednesday, I go on with my day and take Prince to his OT appointment and asked them to please not do oral things with him. As I was waiting I called the dentist at the corner that is just for kids. I got him in at 11.

Well, mom was right. I called it. The tooth had to be pulled.

They were GREAT!! Prince did great and I was very impressed with the way they treated us and calmed us. Okay, mainly me. Prince was a trooper.

So for the last 2 days we have had to watch what he eats and he is not able to have his sensory stuff. That is the hardest part for him. He has done really well though. His lip is bruised, looks like the teeth and hip combined for a bruise. He will go back in 4 weeks and we will discuss if he will have a bridge type of thing with a replacement tooth on it.

The dentist we went to was Dr. Jean Chan in the El Cajon area. I am VERY impressed and would recommend her to anyone!!!
