I’m 33 and have 2 baby teeth in my lower jaw. They are the 1st molars you come to when starting from the front teeth and working round. Dental x-rays suggest there are no permanent teeth waiting to come through for those ones, and I have been told that they will eventually wear out and fall out.
LOL no, not freakishly but it is smaller. My teeth are somewhat small anyway. They fit in my mouth, no buckteeth.
I was never told that it would wear out and fall out. I hope it doesn’t. It’s fairly close to the front.
Of my 3 kids, 1 knocked out his top 2, and another knocked out 2 top and bottom. She is now 18, and has problems with one of the teeth - nerve damage which causes cold sensitivity, and the dentist says will eventually require a root canal.
When the boy lost his, we had company over and all 3 kids were in the basement family room. He came upstairs to tell and show us he had lost his 2 teeth. Neither he nor his sisters had any idea how it had happened - the only thing they were CERTAIN of was that none of them had been doing anything wrong. As a parent, it was frustrating, but as a lawyer, I had to appreciate it! 
Then a week or so later they came up with a story that involved a piece of furniture that hadn’t even been in the basement when it happened!
Just over this past x-mas break did we learn the real story, which involved them sitting on chairs and trying to tip them back as far as they would go without falling…
Couple of years later on a Sunday afternoon, my wife was out skating and I decided to take my 3 kids out for a bike ride. The 2 youngest were fighting (as usual) and competing to see who would be in front. My son cut my daughter off, and she tumbled over her handlebars. She got up with her mouth bleeding, and when I looked in her mouth I brilliantly asked, “Did you have your front teeth when we left home?” At which time my son bent down and gleefully called out, “Found one!” To this day she citicizes me for the fact that she had to bike a couple of miles home with my t-shirt in her mouth to stop the bleeding.
When I got home I called the dentist, who said nothing much to do, bring her in tomorrow. The kids calmed down and were watching vids. I went into the backyard and told the story to my neighbor over the fence and asked what I should do. He said, “Well, if the dentist says nothing to do, I think you’d better have a beer!” Which I considered sage advice. Followed that beer with several more, got the kids off to bed, and somehow or another forgot to tell my wife about the afternoon’s events when she got home. She was not terribly pleased when our youngest daughter came downstairs for breakfast the following morn, lacking 4 front teeth!
I am unclear on how this leads to tooth damage. Cracked skull or whiplash sure, but teeth?
Apologize for my shorthand. IIRC, the game involved to tilt the chair backwards until just before it tipped over, and then have it crash back onto all 4 legs. Not sure if they were kneeling on the chair facing backwards and it tipped over, or someting else.
As a parent, I generally figure it is best not to try to get too many specific details in situations like these… :rolleyes:
My buddy Charlie knocked out his two front teeth when he was a little guy, I think 2 years old. He didn’t get front teeth again until he went to kindergarten. Your little fellah might be without teeth for a long time.
Tough little dude!
