A tumble and a fall

Poor little Zoe took a tumble and a fall yesterday over the front of her scooter which has left her a little shaken and grazed and given her one chipped front tooth and another wobbly one.

I didn't see her fall.  I just saw her in the distance on the ground.  She wasn't crying, maybe just a little bit shocked so as I casually walked up to her and it wasn't until I got closer that I realised it was a little bit more than just a fall...oops!!

Blood was pouring out of her mouth (actually it really wasn't but at the time it felt like it was) thanks to one of her front teeth being pushed back.  So we made a quick trip to the dentist to make sure that there wasn't any unseen damage.

My bestie Aamina was telling me about a fantastic dentist that she had recently taken her little boy to and who would have thought at the time, I'd be going to pay them a visit too!!


The thought of someone even going close to Zoe's mouth made her cling to me like a monkey.  She was so scared but the dentist was so patient and put on cartoons for her to watch while they had a quick look in her mouth.  



Her tooth last night and her tooth this morning.  

The one that was pushed back, seems to have moved back in to position this morning but it is a little bit wobbly and I am hoping it won't fall out or die.

Tomorrow we are paying the Paediatric dentist a visit for a second opinion, a possible x-ray and a polish for her chipped tooth to take away the sharp edge.

All in the day of a child and her poor mummy!!
