Remember the maniac biker boy? Well knock on wood.....He begged to ride around the block and Cami was out on her bike so he went with her....down three drive ways and was looking over his shoulder talking to Cami and crashed....face first into the road.....
His two front teeth were bent completely back and the roots were poking forward. He was bleeding all over the place. I pushed them back into place and tried to call the pediatric dentist. They were out of the office for spring break. Then I tried the adult dentist....He was out of the office....Then I tried the pediatricians office...I just wanted an x-ray to make sure the teeth were ok and to make sure he didn't need stitches on the ginormous mouth wound his teeth caused. They wouldn't see him and sent us to the ER which in the end was ok since he did end up having a little concussion (despite his spider man helmet).
They were also worried his upper jaw bone was fractured but it didn't look like it after the xray....So he got to be on a liquid diet involving a lot of ice cream and smoothies and yogurt for 5 days then a soft diet for another week. Two different dentists later and his teeth are still in tact. The one is now gray (the way a tooth bruises) and will be until it falls out in a couple years (or sooner if he decides to be crazy again). The highlight was all the construction equipment and vehicles outside his ER room...but still isn't this one of the saddest faces ever.
