Tooth update

I just realized that I didn't give an update on Bubbie's tooth! We were able to get him into a pediatric dentist 2 days after he fell. I wasn't really sure how in the world they would be able to get x-rays or even get Bubbie to open his mouth. So, off we go to the dentist, luckily B was able to meet me there.

The dentist's office was in an older medical building, but when we got to the suite, I was surprised at how bright and cheerful it was inside. There was a movie playing, bright colors painted on the walls, video games, and balloons. Bubbie was in heaven.

We got called back to do x-rays after just a few minutes there. While I filled out the paperwork, B sat Bubbie on his lap along with the pre-requisite lead aprons. The dental assistants were total pros. While Bubbie freaked out and screamed (he really didn't like that apron), one assistant held the film in his mouth and aim the machine while the other waited to get the word to turn it on. They gave Bubbie a "badoon" which turned his tears into smiles really quickly.

After the x-ray was developed, the dentist called us back to do a quick exam of his tooth. While B sat on a chair, they had Bubbie sit in his lap and face him. Then they leaned him back so the dentist looked into his mouth while he was upside down. It was really quick.

The good news was that he didn't crack his tooth, but it is a little loose. We now have to watch to make sure that it doesn't change color and go back once month for three months.

Now we're hoping that Bubbie watches his step. He's already got a little chipped tooth and a scar on his forehead from a fall at daycare. I don't want any more injuries!
