Hi ladies,
So, today I had a little one (22mths), get hurt in the playroom (of course while I was changing a diaper so I didn't see the incident). I didn't even hear a thump, but all of a sudden the little one started crying and came up to me with a bit of blood in his mouth! I clean him up and cuddle with him and then inspect his mouth, thinking he must have bit his lip or tongue. I notice that it's his gums that were bleeding. The bleeding stops within minutes and so does his crying. Anyways, I take him with me to the chair and we cuddle some more and I take a good look at his mouth and I notice his teeth, and I think that one of his front teeth has been pushed back into his gums!! I went to check on some pics I had of him to compare, but every pic I have of him I can't see his front teeth!!! By this time, he's cool, he ate lunch and is now down for a nap. My question is, should I have called his parents to inform them of what I think has happened, or just tell them when they come to pick him up? I've never experienced something like this before. My playroom is carpeted so I'm thinking that he must've fallen on a toy? Thoughts???
