Thread: treatment for children at the dentist

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by oompah18
My 6 yr old slipped on the ice tonight & fell head first to the ground, knocking out his 2, big, relatively new, top, front teeth, well, all except for a teeny bit of one tooth still hanging there. I couldn´t believe how much damage could happen! He is still in shock but gave him a large dose of children´s paracetamol & he´s asleep now. So tomorrow morning we visit our local dentist (it´s part of...

I am sorry. your heart really hurts when your child hurts. My son was 13-14 when he fell from his bike and lost all four upper front teeth. I had to take him to Puolarmetsä emergency the same day because he also had a huge wound across his forehead and it needed stitches, and there also was suspicion that his nose is broken (luckily it wasn´t). The dentist did some job, but it didn´t turn out ...

The daughter of a friend of mine in France lost her two top front teeth in a fall. The dentist fitted her with a brace which brought the other two incisors (most normal people have four on top) towards the middle to close the gap. I'm not sure if this is normal practice but I would GUESS that the younger you are the easier it is to do this. It would also depend on how big the outer incisors ...

Oh Allie sorry to read your husband is in hospital. Are you coping ok?

Thanks for the replies, makes me feel better to hear from others! haven´t been on here much lately. Hubby was doing really well, life was fine, he was back at work, till mid sept when he got a stomach infection. he felt fine, it was just he noticed his outgoing dialysis liquid was the wrong colour (sorry if you are squeamish!). He needs antibiotics imixed with his dialysis liquid, a procedure ...

Wow, dentist saw my lad within the hour & fixed him totally, with instructions for him to eat soup & soft food for a while!Haven´t had the bill yet, but she did ask whether we had insurance or not....... Youngest got the swineflu vaccination at the same time, hubby has now had vaccination too. life goes on, hubby needs one more week of antibiotics, so he might get home from hospital before little...

So how did the dentist fix his teeth? Did he glue them back in again???? Or were they just his milk teeth? Will you all get the flu jab due to your husband's illness or is it just the small ones who get it? Anyway, good to hear the teeth are fixed. P

Oompah.. Try to find out whether KELA would cover without Insurance... and if not, then try to ask MLL if they can help .. I hope the Best for you..!!

oompah18 replied 1 month ago
I don´t know exactly what the dentist did, but the replacement looks exactly like the original (big, slightly lopsided, & makes him look slightly like goofy!!!). Thanks for the tip about asking kela, when I get the bill. As for sikainfluenssa, maybe the whole village has it, or maybe they are all staying inside as a precaution, but we went to the parish-run, weekly, family playgroup, usually with...

Great story ,with a happy ending , and you seem so mentally strong. .I hope it was the little boy,s milk teeth. yes?, My daughter had a similar accident in a rollerskate park on her14th birthday , and the front tooth had a crack across it. I had hoped that the dentist would have tried to save it but ..horror.no, he didn,t even try.. but proceeded to have an implant fitted. It wasn,t a very good...

Yep, Penelope has it right, nowheremäki, few buses, only one shop, ATM, little used pub, lots of playparks, first school, lakes & cyclepaths.Oh yes, a little neuvola & dentist, but no full time doctor there. But it´s my little bit of paradise, honestly, & I wouldn´t live anywhere else I only seem to write on the forum to moan, but it is far better to moan to strangers here in English, than to try it in my terrible...

I have an emergency dentist on my doorstep (Puolarmetsä) but he is "on call" so last time my husband went there for a root canal emergency on a Sunday afternoon (a few hours before flying out on business - ouch!) he still had to wait a couple of hours for the dentist to arrive. If you have four VERY...

Hey.. That is definitely an accident coz you wont know that it will happen in the first place. You should go see your dentist to know what would be the best thing to do. And you could also get dental plan or whatever you call it. Because dental health is very important these days. Dental hygiene is an essential part of our lives.
