A week goes by and I notice discoloration. Time to call the dentist! After an x-ray and examination, the dentist said there is no damage to the adult tooth (which was the main concern) and she may get lucky with the tooth color returning to white. There was a trauma to the nerves, but since she is still very young there is plenty of blood going to the tooth - which apparently helps it heal. When kids are 4 or 5 the tooth usually dies because that baby tooth is about to fall out and no blood is going to it. Learn something new all the time. So she is fine. It is noticeable up close, but not that big of a deal. Grace clearly doesn't notice. So we are all good! Best part she got a mustache at the dentist office. Her choice from the treat dispenser.

Gray Tooth
First medical trauma over here and thankfully not a big deal. If this is the worst that happens then we are lucky! Grace a couple weeks ago knocked her front tooth on the slide climbing up BECAUSE William and his friends were playing Ninja Turtles and chasing her... hmmm... thanks a lot, William. She hit it pretty hard the teacher said and they were worried it was moving. She said it hurt that day, but the next day she didn't mention it. She has a high tolerance of pain though. I touched it and didn't feel any wiggle, so I kind of ignored it because I heard there is nothing to do if the tooth dies.
