This isn’t Olivia’s week. On Tuesday morning she was rough housing with the big girls ( I was in the other room). I heard a big thump and then screaming. Always on ominous sign. I hurried out to find Olivia screaming in the hall with blood coming out of her mouth. The tip off to how she hurt her mouth was Jocelyn who was examining the damage to the wall. Apparently during rough housing she put her top teeth right into the wall. Sounds painful huh? She was bleeding around no less than 5 teeth (but all were there!) and she had drywall debris crammed between the back of her front teeth and the roof of her mouth. I called my pediatrician who advised me to call our dentist. I called the dentist who, of course, thought she maybe needed looked at. X-rays showed she didn’t crack any teeth or the roots (yeah!) but she did knock the front couple loose. He also tried to clean up the debris but it was jammed up there right in between the roof and teeth so hard it wouldn’t all come out. Luckily by now the rest has worked it’s way out on in it’s own. Thank goodness mouths heal quickly!
Here is where her teeth when into the wall.
The score stands as thus:
The wall: 1
Olivia: 0
I almost gave Olivia a point since she did put a hole there but the wall didn’t require x-rays.
Oh poor girl, sorry to hear that. Hope her mouth and teeth heal correctly.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a trooper! Awfully cute too!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! Poor little girl! I'm glad she didn't knock her teeth out.
ReplyDeleteWhy do these types of things only happen when I am gone.
ReplyDeleteShould we put up a plaque on the wall in memory of the event? Maybe we should just cover it up and paint the whole wall Dodger blue.
