[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again.  I can't seem to move on from thjs being 100% preventable has he worn a helmet as I told him.  It's gnawing at me. Any words of encouragement? I realize thjs isn't the end of the world but I'm just not doing well and feel so down and stressed and mad at myself and him and my DH who thinks I'm overprotective.

OP.  It is what it is,  don't stress it now.  
I damaged my front upper tooth when i was 4 i think.  So the permanent one came out unhealthy and discolored.  Then i had root canal done as a teenager with the dead tooth still there.  But the tooth was always discolored.  And then randomly in my late 20ies one morning i wake up and my front tooth is so loose, it is barely holding on.  Can you imagine waking up as a young girl without a front tooth one day?  I was soo stressed out. 
My dentist removed that tooth and roots and made a flipper while implant was being put in and it healed.  It took many months but I am in my early 40ies and have an implant now and no one can tell.

He will be fine.  There are solutions.  
Just make sure he doesn't bite on harder things,  definitely no biting on apples (though i think nobody should - i heard people breaking their healthy front teeth on apples).[/quote]

Thanks for your kind words! Glad you're ok now. I realize this isn't life or death and I am grateful but being a baby and already sort of fragile mentally.[/quote]
