Luke's first trip to the dentist

So we were finally able to see a pedi-dentist this week (almost two weeks after his accident). Dr. Bill took an x-ray of his front teeth to see if he damaged any roots and found that the actual tooth that got pushed back had a shortened root, and will stay in that position. It is too late to try to push it back in place.  The tooth to the left of that one had a fracture to the root. So this will be a waiting game to see if the tooth dies because of the damage. We are just to keep an eye on it to see if it changes any color or has puss pockets form on his gum. Also, the x-ray showed that he has a 3rd permanent tooth!!! So Weird!!! So again we will have to wait and see what happens when those teeth come in.

Also, he has come down with another ear infection this past week, so we are headed to the ENT on Wednesday to see if he will have to have tubes put in.
