3 yr old son got his teeth knocked back.....?

yesterday my son fell and when I opened his mouth, one of his front teeth was knocked back and I pulled it forward. I can tell his other front teeth was affected to by the fall also from his gums but it wasn't knocked back like the other one. By looking at it, I can tell its crooked. One is more out than the other one (the one that was knocked back) I put some pressure on it while he was sleeping to try to get it lined up with the other one but it didn't work. What would a dentist do in this situation. Would they put my son to sleep to fix his teeth or something since he is not mature enough yet to sit still? Is there something that is done to make sure the teeth will grow properly and his adult teeth will grow straight? There looks like dried blood on his gums? Does this mean his gums are infected?

yes, you should bring him to a dentist, prefferably a pedodontist who deals with small children everyday. Your son should have those teeth til he is 6or so, so hang onto them if at all possible. The dentist may splint the loose tooth to more sound teeth so it may heal but they may need a pulpectomy, if the pulp is affected by the fall. Good luck
Reply:I would take him to his pediatrician and have them look at his teeth. Kids get their baby teeth battered and knocked out all the time. The doctor will be able to tell you if he really needs to see a dentist and if his gums are infected. Yes, the dentist would have to give him some medication to make him sleep. Just don't let the dentist talk you into anything like root canals or crowns for baby teeth. I have heard that a lot. Some parents have been talked into spending thousands of dollars on teeth that are going to fall out anyway. Horrible.

Reply:why in the world would you not bring him to the dentist or doctor when his tooth got knocked out? Let's use some common sense......


Honestly, he is probably in pain. i hop ethe LEAST you are doing is giving him tylenol or some other child pain medication. Oh my gosh, your poor son.
