While John and I were at a meeting, John's parents came done and watched the kids for us. Nathan was out riding rip stic and Nana said he came running in and ran right into the bathroom. When he finally came out, he said he had a big problem, an expensive problem and that I would be so mad! He opened his mouth and showed Nana that he had chipped his front tooth and cracked the other one. Nathan said he was glad he was wearing his helmet or it would have been much worse.
When we got home Nana told us the story and when I saw Nate, I gave him a big hug and told him that I was just glad he was okay.
We couldn't get into the dentist until the next day and Nathan was still so concerned about the cost. I told him that it didn't matter how much it cost, we would get it fix. He was going to try to have it fixed without being numbed up, but the first drill hit a nerve and he got the shot.
The fix looked great but Nathan has to be very careful now with what he eats. It will probably break off and we will just get it fixed again. Nathan said next time he will turn his head and not try to catch himself with his teeth.
Oh poor guy! We had this same thing happen with Hannah, Lucky for her it didn't get to the nerve, but it has had to be fixed 2 times since she did it last February. She is much better now with remembering not to bite into anything with her front teeth. Hope your Dentist was reasonable, we ended up only having to pay $12 with insurance. And you can't even tell it ever even happened!
