Eli’s chipped tooth

Eli is a great walker, but sometimes gets a bit clumsy. There’s an added complication too of the toys that are usually strewn around the floor making walking hazardous whatever your age or ability.

On Thursday night he went for a spill on the kitchen floor and cracked a third of his front tooth off. A visit to the dentist followed the next day, but being his baby tooth the dentist advised against any remedial work. It’s given him a bit of a crooked smile, but not in the same league as Shane McGowan.

Even though it's just a chipped tooth, it still hurts to think about how it happened. But a brand new one will grow out someday, so you can just rest easy.

Hmmm...Eli seems to be an energetic boy! Good thing all he got was a chipped tooth because a curious child likes to put things in their mouth.

It's all thanks to the hero dentist who managed to fix what everything needs to be done. Of course, Eli did great as well. Preventive measures should be followed up for him to fully recover and regain that precious smile. Cheers!

It’s good that Eli didn’t freak out or panicked after the incident. An immediate visit to the dentist was indeed the right thing to do. Parents out there should do the same whenever their children’s teeth get chipped.

Eli is brave and strong enough to face dental fear. That is good sign of parenting, find good dentist is the first and important step toward a great treatment. Only experienced dentist can guide you batter. Best of luck to Eli(Pokemon)
