Tooth pushed into gum.....

. Baby teeth don't have a root so it's not going to die and that's probably why she doesn't feel any pain.
:

can i just say this is untrue!!! all teeth have roots otherwise they cant survive, they need blood supply.

darl most definatly see a dentist today, she does have a risk of it dying, that can be delt with, more of a concern would be any damage to the adult tooth above, hopefully there wouldnt be but she will probably need an xray on it, you will need to keep an eye on her over the coming days/weeks to look for signs of it dying...
poor poppet

pm me or sez if you need too

Thanks everyone Just for future reference if anyone has this happen, I am glad we went to the dentist. He checked it over, she had a bit of bleeding we couldn't see behind it but it's not too bad considering. He took an x-ray and the adult tooth hasn't been damaged, although it may still come out with a white mark on it. We need to watch for a gum pimple thing or any discolouration on the tooth itself over the next 2 weeks before we see him again, and then will go yearly or so I think he said til her adult one comes out. It may or may not drop down from where it is now. She can only eat soft foods for a week or so and is in no pain so far which is lucky otherwise we could give panadol.

Can I just say the dentist we saw was AWESOME with her too, camp as a row of tents and just absolutely gorgeous with her and telling her pink is his favorite colour and that he loves Dora. Best bit is they are about 2 minutes from here as well! Yay!!! She was also amazing and I have to thank Dorothy the Dinosaur for showing kids what happens at the dentist!! Trooper girl.
