[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread to see how OP and don are doing.  My child has a similar injury and this has all been a total nightmare.  Hoping to hear a positive story of this working out for this child and his mom![/quote]

OP here- son is almost 20 and tooth is still intact in his mouth.. fingers crossed it stays!
What happened with your child? How old?[/quote]

My child is 15 and sustained trauma to a front tooth.  The tooth is now sensitive so we are going back next week to see if he needs a root canal but it seems like he will given that it’s sensitive.  I’m devastated because it’s a front tooth and that means that he will probably need an implant if it fails.  Plus I’ve heard that root canals are really painful.  This was a freak accident and he seems ok… I am the one suffering the trauma![/quote]

I am one of the many pps who knocked a front tooth out as a child. Root canals can be very unpleasant but they shouldn’t be painful. And in some ways a front tooth is better (for root canal purposes bc it’s easier to access.)

not to minimize your concerns!it does really suck but it it’s more the ongoing issues and expense with the knocked out tooth over years rather than the initial root canal. Also, it will look completely fine so don’t worry about that.[/quote]

I am concerned about the long term effects of losing that tooth but oh well I guess there is nothing I can do to change it.  It still sucks to watch my child go through.[/quote]
