Suggest Remedy For Injury In Tooth
My 3 yr old son fell at the playground. He pushed one of his front teeth up into the gum. I would approximate about 1/3 to 1/2 of the tooth is up in the gum. He bit all the way thru his bottom lip in multiple spots. He has been to ER and said there is no need to see a dentist. Is this true?

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
Have the tooth being pulled down to its position or it is staying pushed up in the gums?
I would advice you to visit his pedodontist and have a radiograph done to evaluated if the underlying tooth has been affected or not.
Any infections developing has to be ruled out.
Hope this was useful.
Thanks and regards.
