A Well-placed Headbutt

My youngest gave me a fat lip via a well-placed headbutt two days ago. My tooth still hurts a bit (it isn't like a toothache, it just feels off...bruised gum maybe?). Is this normal or should I be going to the dentist?

Side note just because I thought it was cute: My 4 year old just told me that she is thinking about candy canes so her brain is now decorated for Christmas. HA!

What can I do next?

I'd give the tooth another day or two. Love the "decorated for xmas" comment. I love hearing things like that..just gives you a little insight as to what goes through their heads and how they see things! Soooooooo cute!!!!!!!

Love the candy cane comment!

As for the tooth, give it another day and then, yes, probably wise to see the dentist if the pain isn't going away. If you think it's a bruised gum, perhaps a little ice?

Very cute...a decorated brain is a happy one! (I had a 2 yr old tell me yesterday that her apple bottom jeans were broken!!!! LOL!!!)

As for tooth, give it a couple more days, and if it still hurts, definitely call dentist and see what they say!

My son broke my nose 3x before I learned to duck. Oy. Cannonball head.

Anyhow... call your dentist tomorrow. He my well have broken your tooth / it may be dying... or it may be nothing. Since it's a weekend coming, and it's already been 2 days... better to pay a regular fee and maybe save it... than to have to go into the ER for emergency dental work over the weekend.

That happens DAILY here.

Just call the dentist but it usually goes away in a couple of days.

I'm waiting for a broken nose--SERIOUSLY.

Feel better.
