We just can't seem to catch a break. Last week, we spent time in the hospital with ME. This week (only one day into it) and Matthew has lost half of his permanent front tooth.
I went to a book club meeting tonight and Bryon took the kids to church. Half way through, the children's minister came to get Bryon and explain what happened. Apparently, he and his good buddy were playing trying to catch balls of Playdoh when Matthew twisted and went down teeth first into the hard floor. I am trying not to visualize this too much because I have teeth issues. Knocked out teeth or even loose teeth make me nauseous.
Seriously, how many kindergarteners do you know who have mostly permanent teeth? Why didn't this happen to a baby tooth? Why did this happen to the top front tooth? He wanted to go to book club with me tonight instead of church. I wish I had just stayed home with him.
I didn't even enjoy Grey's Anatomy tonight because I was so sick about his tooth. I guess I will call the dentist tomorrow and see about getting it crowned. I can't write anymore, because I am so upset about it.
Had a thought.

I was babysitting in the toddler room when I heard this had happened. I am sorry. I would be sick, too. But, one of my front teeth is crowned and it will be ok in the long run. I hate it, though. Hope he is ok with it.

That's awful; I'm so sorry! I'm sure the dentist will be able to do something to make it all seem better! ((hugs))
((HUGS))--Hopefully the dentist will make it like it never happened?
Sending you hugs this morning! I'm so sorry for all the traumas of late. It does seem like you've had a lot of them, and that can really wear you down.
It's amazing what dentists can do - so much better than when we were little. Keep us posted!
Poor you and Matthew! That is also one of my biggest fears with the girls. I am constantly worrying that Kaylee will fall and break a tooth and once Campbell starts walking I will get to worry about her too. They do not even have their permanent teeth and I worry. We will be thinking of you both. I know the dentist will fix it up perfectly as if nothing ever happened.
Oh no! That's terrible. Hopefully the dentist will be able to make it all better and you won't even be able to tell.
The same thing happened to my brother with a baby tooth, but the story does not end there....he did it again about 6 years later on a perma tooth. He wore a retainer thing for a while with a tooth and it seems like several of his friends did too! Crazy. Now, he wears veneers on the front and they are perfect and very white, but not cheap. Don't hate me for telling you all that during your rough time with it. Matthew is such a boy in every way. Trent was, too....
