So last night, I was gone doing stuff for Cub Scouts. When I got home, I found Matthew with half of each of his front teeth GONE! Apparently he was running in the kitchen and somehow tripped. He fell so FAST that he didn't have time to catch himself so his two front teeth slammed into our hardwood floor (if you look closely at the top picture you can see TWO white teeth marks - just above and to the right of the knot). It really scared him when he saw his teeth come out. Ed wasn't worried until he saw a tooth STUCK in the floor and he realized it was Matthew's TWO FRONT PERMANENT TEETH!
So, I called our dentist and he met us at the office. He put a "bandaid" on his teeth so they wouldn't hurt so badly (air touching them really made them hurt). We go back sometime today for x-rays to make sure his teeth aren't broken further up (he is still sleeping - thankfully). One of his teeth is a little loose and the other has cracks through it so we we'll just have to see what happens. They aren't going to fix them until later this week - the dentist wants to give them some time to settle and heal. I am just sick to my stomach over this one!

Where are his tears? What a brave boy! Good luck in the next days with the dentist appts & repairs!
This is so sad! The permanent teeth! Thank heavens it is not 1890 and he goes toothless the rest of his life. Thank heavens for modern dentistry!
Oh shoot! Poor little boy! And of course it had to be the permanent ones...of course!
Good thing he's a good lookin' kid with or without those teeth :)
