Dental Trauma, part 1

Tonight Cole hit his mouth on his metal Tonka truck and was bleeding profusely. We could tell at least one tooth was missing, but couldn't find it amid all the blood. I freaked, but B was cool and reassuring, holding Cole. We called Coles dentist, Dr. Hull, who reopened his office for us to come in. An exam and an x-ray determined that the tooth was just pushed up in to the gum line. Soft foods for a week, topical antibiotics, and swelling beyond recognition. Heart breaking for both of us, Cole has been more resilient than us.
