Remember this?
AJ’s lip healed quickly and easily.
This morning, I was snuggling with him and he looked up at me, smiling. I called CandyMan over.
Me: “Does this tooth look discolored to you? It looks a tiny bit grey to me.”
CandyMan: “Hmmm…you mean this one?” He reached out to touch the tooth with his finger.
Wiggle.
Oh no.
I immediately felt sick to my stomach.
That tooth is not supposed to wiggle.
His injury was over a week ago.
We have no dental coverage and certainly no extra money to pay out of pocket dental expenses.
What to do?
I fear that my adorable little 3 year old is going to singing “All I Want For Christmas is my 2 Front Teeth.”
For the next 4 years.
Oh, I’m just sick about it. It doesn’t help that I am on day 3 of a massive anxiety attack. I am nearly crippled by it. I know I shouldn’t stress as much as I am, but, well, it’s hormonal and I can manage but I can’t get rid of it.
Does anybody out there have experience with a child losing a tooth? Any advice? Any words of encouragement?
Help!

Had an anxiety attack over my own loose tooth. I thought about how embarrasing it would be,how i would talk to people with out them looking at my missing tooth. Hot flashes,sore joints,pressure on chest,hypervantilation and dizziness,i thought i was going to die,actually dying at that moment was a better thought than living with a missing tooth. I have no medical aid and im unemployed. This sucks.
