emergency dental visits
We just had our second visit this month! The first trip was for Sean, who broke off about 1/3 of a lower permanent tooth when he collided with Caleb during a game of catch in the back yard.
Today we went in for Caleb, who smashed his face on the monkey bars at the school. No broken teeth this time just lots of blood– we’ll have to wait for better x-rays in a couple weeks to see the full extent of the damage done. He did have to have some stitches to pull the skin back over the exposed bone (YUCK!) between his two front teeth. Caleb’s front teeth are a little displaced and we’ll have to wait and see how they want to treat it when we go back in two weeks.
Okay, so I know that this all goes with the territory of having two boys– but can I just say this part really sucks! It sucks for them for obvious reasons (injury, pain, etc.) and it sucks for us as parents because I don’t think there’s anything worse than seeing your child in pain. Personally, I have a very high tolerance for pain but I am such a wimp when it comes to seeing other people hurt! I am so glad that Cam was with us because I am almost useless when it comes to seeing my child bleed (almost passed out and threw up- told you I’m a wimp).
So, we spent our family time today at Dr. Bisese’s Pediatric dental office– which is a really nice office but not our ideal place to hang out on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Poor Caleb!
