The morning of May's blessing we had a bit of a traumatic experience in our house. Clara tripped and fell on her chin. She falls all the time from her crazy antics but this time she was bleeding... A LOT! She didn't even hit anything, she just fell on the carpet! When she calmed down a bit we could see that she had chipped her top two front teeth and that at least one of her bottom teeth were loose. Since she calmed down so quickly we just gave her some Tylenol and decided to play it by ear.
She was such a little trooper the whole day and seemed to be hurting but not in severe pain. We got a hold of our dentist (who lives in Dennis' parents ward in Filer) and he just had us come over for him to take a look to see if she needed any dental work done that week. How sweet of him! He said that she didn't need anything for now, that the sharp edges would round off and that we should just watch her bottom teeth for infections. I'm glad she is okay, but I just hated seeing her in pain!
Oh Alea! If only you new how many times we have dealt with this. David has chipped his teeth on five different occasions. Three of those times we got them filled because it broke my heart to see the way it changed his smile. After so many trips, we decided to stop fixing it (it was expensive) so he has chipped teeth. I felt so bad the first time it happened because I knew I could never reverse it!
