All About Dental

[tweety17]

The same thing happened to my boy about two years back. The two front teeth were very shaky and looked like they gonna dropped off. He used his tongue to push them forward. We did not brush his teeth that night and brought him to see a dentist the following day. They were not as shaky as the day before and the swell was still there. The dentist decided not to pull out the teeth as he was only four and it will take quite some time before the adult teeth grow. That means, my boy will be without front teeth for quite some time, hence, he hoped that the teeth will stabilize over the next few days. And if they do stabilize, we still need to monitor his teeth for the next six months for discolouration, pain, discomfort etc Fortunately, the teeth did stabilize and subsequently healed completely on its own. I think the best is still to bring her to see a dentist and let the dentist determine what to do next.

i have brought her to see a dentist yesterday night, dentist advised me to give her antibiotics but i rejected as she is still so young (by the way, my girl only 2yrs old). In the end, he prescribe her an ointment to apply and painkiller (Bifen) for her to take when necessary.


She can drink from her milk bottle and eat from the spoon, everything is normal except that she has phobia drinking from her water bottle.

Will have to bring her back for a review in 2 weeks time, hopefully everything is ok and back to normal by then.

Thanks for sharing :lol:

I used BONJELA a gel-like anaesthetic

to numb the pain from my DDs’ falls
with say… cut on lips, ulcers in mouth,
or teething incidences.

Easily available at your nearest pharmacy.
Comes in tube-form. Can be applied every
few hours to help numb the swelling feeling.

Hi Mummies,


I have another question. As my girl fell down during her activities at childcare. Do you think its adviseable for her to continue at the childcare again???

Now my parents & hubby have asked me to withdraw her from childcare.

I would like to hear your comments…

Chiew, this is probably an accident - once off? - easy for us to pin the blame on the childcare...but some things you may want to consider before making that decision:
(1) What is their teacher-student ratio?
(2) Is DD given enough care and attention?
(3) Are there other aspects that you do not like about the cc?
(4) Do you have other child care alternatives? If so, what are they? and how do they stack up against current cc?

I am trying to convience them that too…


teacher-student ratio is 1:9 (there is a teacher assistant together with the group)

Is DD given enough care and attention? - i think as of now is yes as she just joined last Mon.

Are there other aspects that you do not like about the cc? - they speak chinese most of the time.

(4) Do you have other child care alternatives? If so, what are they? and how do they stack up against current cc? - yes, my parents but my sis is due in Sep 09, not sure whether can they manage 2 kids???
