OMG! What happened?!


Question:

OMG! What happened?

My little sis was just doing front flips on my bed. She some how hurt her tooth right next to her front one on top. It is bleeding, and won't stop (it is an adult tooth). It isn't bleeding that bad,(but it is bleeding) but it still hurts the same. What could she have possibly done.


Answers:

The mouth bleeds alot when there is trauma that is normal. Put a cold compress on the area with pressure and the bleeding should subside. She could also put a wet tea bag on the area. If the tooth is broken (not just a little chip on the edge) or really loose you should call the dentist and they will xray the area. It is probably just gum trauma or a frenum tear. A frenum is a tissue attachment that goes from the lip to the jaw and is also not much to worry about. Hope this helps!
Good luck
