Of the big-bada-boom of yesterday…

K’s teeth look (more) crooked, but they do not seem to be loose. Her gums are BRUISED, and you can see some blood between the two front teeth. She doesn’t like me looking at it, but it doesn’t seem to cause her big pain.

We were at the peds office today for M’s flu shot so I asked them about it. They said it was the dentists realm…and gave us a number. I called and we were told to watch out for:

Signs of infection, pain/swelling, the teeth turning purple (she said if they turn grayish it’s normal, bruising of teeth), signs of abscess.

So, wait and see as always. M is now miserable because of her ‘traumatic’ experience of the shot (the doc is becoming a regular traumatic experience for her anymore). But otherwise, the world is back to normal.

ETA: Not five minutes after I wrote this K fell…AGAIN. Hit her mouth (two front teeth)…AGAIN. She was kneeling down to pick up something she dropped and lost her balance, hitting her teeth on the coffee table!! Now they most definitely hurt her…*headdesk*
