Two weeks ago our little Camille had an ugly accident. That afternoon I wanted the girls to go on a bike ride with me but Camille had had a little bike accident and was feeling anti-bike. So she insisted on going on her scooter. It turns out scooters are less stable than bikes! She was going down a big hill on the trail and as she tried to slow down, she pitched off the scooter onto the pavement and knocked one tooth out significantly and the other tooth out a little bit. Because of her braces, both teeth were still there and I wasn't quite sure what to do about it.
I biked home and brought back the car to pick her up, then called the dentist. It was 5:30pm but fortunately the dentist was still there and had me bring her down to fix her up. He reinserted the teeth and put on a splint to hold them there.
Last week, we went in for a check-up and then to an oral surgeon to get an MRI on the teeth to see if they were fractured. Fortunately they weren't, so today we went in for a root canal on the tooth that came out the most. So far she's not really suffering. We go back again in two weeks to finish up the root canal since there was infection in there that needs to come out.
I'm thankful for Camille!
