Mylo vs. Door Frame
Mylo was having a bad day an decided to pick a fight with the door frame... and he lost! The truth is that Mylo wanted to wear his "skateboarding" shoes, which are just a little too big. He tripped over them and fell, face first into the door frame in his room. When I saw him hit I knew it was not going to be good. I checked out his mouth, which was bleeding and sure enough he busted something. He hit his face diagonally from chin to cheek. As I checked his mouth I could instantly see that he had hurt his teeth. Not sure how bad, since I am not a dentist. I showed Dave and sure enough we knew we had to take him... somewhere... His front tooth and second from the right were bent in towards the left. We weren't sure if we should take him to Primary Children's, InstaCare, his Pediatrician or a dentist. After some phone calls, we figured out we had to take him to the dentist. They were able to reposition his teeth back into the "right" place. The picture really doesn't do it justice. He was really tough and soon he will have two little brown/gray teeth. Good thing he will get new ones and that he still has them!

OUCH! Poor kid. Good thing, like you said that they are still just baby teeth that will be replaced.
Oh poor Mylo! I had a similar thing happen when I was little. My older brother pushed me off a chair, I hit my tooth and it shoved it back up into the gum damaging the permanent tooth. I now have a nice white filling covering a permanent tooth that looked like it had a piece of corn stuck to it. You gotta love siblings. I hope Mylo has 2 perfectly shiny white permanent teeth.
Oh, poor kid! I wish my hubby would have been there to help. He deals with that kind of stuff all the time (he's a pediatric dentist). He's had to fix our kids teeth after trauma at home too. :(
Oh! poor little Mylo. Something like that happen to Ethan too. Not fun. He was riding his bike and fell.
Oh my gosh! What a trooper for going through the re-positionsing! That hurts! I am glad he is ok!
Poor Mylo. Hope he doesn't call for a rematch. Tell that doorframe to pick on someone his own size.
Yikes! Sometimes it amazes me the things kids endure growing up. I'm glad he's okay though!
Ouch!! Poor guy!! That must have been pretty painful! He must have been very brave!! My little sister Deborah had two black front teeth for the first part of her life from falling into a coffee table. Thank goodness its his baby teeth!!
