About a week ago Natalie, Bailey and Tanner were all sitting at the piano when Bailey decided that she was a little crowded, so she pushed Tanner off the bench. Unfortunately his two front teeth took the grunt of the fall, dislocating one of them (did you know that you could dislocate a tooth? Yeah, me either). Luckily we know our dentist well and were able to get him in right away and she was able to put it back into its socket. This picture is him about an hour after he hit it.
Poor boy wouldn't drink anything and was drooling all over the place. Now, a week later, he is back to his old self, eating fine and letting us brush his teeth without any hesitation. Unfortunately, both top front teeth are turning black. So far the gums look great around the teeth, so mostly like he won't have to get them pulled, but we will definitely be keeping an eye on him and his teeth for the next little while.

Oh no! I'm glad you could get in right away to get it fixed...poor boy.
Micah did the same thing! I know it looks gross for a while, but it will clear up. At first Micah's turns like a reddish gray and then after a while is faded away. Poor kid!
same thing happened to Rory and eventually we did have to have one pulled because it got infected. she got a little (sp?) on her gum and it burst and I had no idea. It was way sad.
Poor babies.
Awww poor little man! Kaitlin did that, but only hit one tooth. I was the one that pushed it right back in place. You might've lived here when it happened. I thought she would lose it because it turned brown, but it cleared up and has been fine. I have noticed it getting darker than the rest of them now though. I still wonder if that one will be the first to fall out! Hope he feels good still!
Sweet! He could possibly join the missing front tooth club with Ava - her's has been gone for a year now. Ah...we miss that tooth.
