Paging the Tooth Fairy

My girl likes to walk as fast her her tiny little feet will carry her. And last night, sippy bottle in mouth, she slipped, landing face-first on the living room floor. The bottle stayed put. Her front tooth did not. Rather than fall out, it was jammed up into her gum line. Yes...ouch. A little blood and a few tears later I had her (rushed her) to my dentist who took a look and confirmed that indeed, she'd ripped the membranes that hold the tooth and managed to get it embedded.

There is no treatment but for soft food. It could take as long as a year for the tooth to descend and after it does there would be permanent scarring to the adult tooth bud growing beneath. But she's doing fine, eating bananas and trying to walk as fast as her little feet will carry her. I'm hiding the sippy bottles.
