Leonitus' First Dental Visit

Leonitus had a bad fall when he was playing with me and hit the floor with his face. There was blood oozing from his mouth. Mommy checked and discovered that he had chipped his front tooth!

Leonitus wouldn't stop crying and Daddy did a second check and found the tooth rather shaky. So Daddy and Mommy rushed him to a nearby dental clinic.


Initially Leonitus was afraid and started crying when he had to sit on the dental seat, but the dentist was very patient and kind, she coaxed Leonitus slowly and he was able to open his mouth to allow her to take a good look inside.








Fortunately Leonitus did not need to have his tooth pull out but it might take him a while before the pain go away. Hopefully, the nerve and blood vessels are not affected, but we wouldn't know until days later. If that tooth discoloured, it would means the impact had caused the tooth its death and he might have to have it removed. We have to just keep our fingers crossed for now. Poor Leonitus.
