I'd call the dentist tomorrow and get detailed options of what would happen after the extraction.

I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't loose. About 2 weeks later it started to turn gray. I took her to the dentist and she said to watch it for 1 of 3 things: get an abscess, stay the same, or fade away like a bruise. Luckily, it wasn't dead. It got pretty dark gray for quite awhile, but just recently it has started to fade and you can hardly tell anymore. I definitely wouldn't do a root canal on a little one...I don't see the point! It's a hard decision...I hope he is okay.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687774719981736669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675785607433786634.post-84191799389620719112009-04-06T20:20:00.000-04:002009-04-06T20:20:00.000-04:00Well, I chipped one of my front teeth when I was a...Well, I chipped one of my front teeth when I was about 8yo or so. They filled in the chip back then, but last year when I went to the dentist, they said that I had an abscess that had been there for a really long time. I had to get a root canal, but it wasn't too bad. They did tell me that the tooth could eventually turn gray, but there are lots of ways to take care of it. My abscess wasn't painful -- apparently I had it for 20 years!! But . . . if I were you I think I would have it extracted, just to be on the safe side since he is so little . . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8675785607433786634.post-28009708904927867012009-04-06T20:06:00.000-04:002009-04-06T20:06:00.000-04:00Finley busted his front tooth and chipped it.

James wants to cap it but I think that it is kinda cute. My cousin's daughter fell and her tooth fell out and now there is just a hole there. She isn't planning on getting a replacement. I think that I have also heard that you can leave it and bleach it back to a white color.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608530512613356632noreply@blogger.com
