Lateral incisor

All I want for christmas is my incisor, my incisor, it's my incisor!

Lift gets exciting with a little one, literally.

Morning of Friday the 13th 2013, Colin fell off our bed and knocked his teeth onto the edge of bedframe. 

Blood dripped on floor faster than candle wax, cries to ceiling and popped his left lateral incisor on the floor (for tooth fairy to pick up).

Brought him to SGH Dental to get his gums and mouth checked. Dentist ordered for an x-ray to see if neighbouring teeth were affected as well. It took 5 people to get an x-ray of his bunny tooth - Daddy to hug and hold his hands down, mummy to hold the legs, one nurse to hold mobile phone with Barney Animal ABCs for distraction, another nurse to insert the sensor piece into his mouth, and a final nurse on standby to shoot the x-ray. Colin's role was to cry buckets and try breaking free. At the end of the x-ray session, all the nurses commented "He is very strong!". Haha. Thanks for your acknowledgement. 

After that, a surgeon came over to check on the cut on the left side of his mouth. A cut bad enough to call for stitches under local GA, which we weren't keen at all. We decided to let the wound heal naturally. We prayed and prayed for it to heal nicely (and it did!).

Colin was his happy and exploring self after he got over the initial trauma. Climbed and crawled all over the play area while mummy and grandma kam sweated. :D He drank milk from bottle and ate soft diet for 3 days.

Sometimes he told me "Mummy, teeth mei mei (pain pain)" in the cutest voice ever. Such a heart melter. We're sorry you had to go through this boy.

Glad you are okay buddy! Please stop falling or your bunny teeth will be the next to fall out!
