After a rather sleepless night, everyone was tired the next day. Luckily Ryan was off to the childminders again, but Tina decided not to work. Gabby’s mouth seemed quite sore but she was fine. Except, she was hungry as she was not able to eat yesterday.
At lunchtime, Tina tried her with some yogurt which was fine. Then she tried a grape. Unfortunately, this managed to dislodge her other lower tooth and set her gum bleeding again. A quick call to the dentist and he could see us straight away.
The dentist said that the second tooth may come out as well as the gum around the area was damaged. It would either come out, or repair itself pretty quick. Whatever happened it would have no long term effect. The tooth is now at a 40 degree angle and there is a cut on Gabby’s lib, but it hasn’t affected her. She was her normal, happy, loud self in the dentist’s and made the nurse laugh.
So, now we wait to see what happens with the other tooth. And we won’t be giving her anything as hard as a grape again.
Wow your baby really has had a struggle with teething. Here is a cool teething site that has been helpful to a lot of mothers during the teething stage. Hope you find it helpful for your teething baby as well.
Cheers,
