We went to the dentist today and within about 20 minutes they X-rayed her, gave her a dental exam, cleaning, flouride and bonded the chipped tooth! She cried the whole time the Dr. was working in her mouth but that was only about 5 minutes so it wasn't too bad. She was a real trooper and recovered within seconds when the "tooth fixer" gave her stickers and a new Elmo toothbrush. The tooth looks pretty normal! It really was OBVIOUSLY chipped (my SIL said it looked like a fang) and now no one (except me the mom/perfectionist) can tell. I don't even have a picture of her 2nd "major" injury. Oh well, I'm just glad it's all fixed (and it didn't cost an arm and a leg)!
Oh-her first major injury was when she rolled off the bed (about 1 foot away from me) and got a black eye on the edge of a rocking chair on her way down. She was about 8 months old. It was NOT pretty and certainly wasn't "fixed" in 20 minutes.
Tabitha recently rolled off the bed, near the rocking chair, but not bumps or bruises...phew! Glad her tooth is all better.
ReplyDeleteHi Corinne, I have to clarify - I turned my back on Tabitha for about 10 sec after setting her on the bed, then heard a plump. It was my fault and I felt so bad. After crying for a while, she's fine. Love your blog and miss you guys!
ReplyDeleteJeff-I was standing right next to Ella when she rolled off the bed-I felt horrible!! We had to go the ER-it was traumatic! Thankfully there was nothing serious wrong but the black eye was SO pitiful looking. I love hearing from you guys!
