Last Saturday we ended up having to take Rylen to the emergency room. I noticed that he had an infection on his gun where one of his molars has been trying to pop through. The doctor didn't want to do anything with it so he put him on antibiotics for a week and sent us home. That night the pocket with the infection burst and started bleeding a little.
The next day his gum looked sore so I just kept an eye on it. Monday came and I noticed that there was white thing popping through his gum. It didn't look like a tooth only because at the bottom of it was a piece of skin holding it onto the gum. I convinced Andrew to take us back to the emergency room for another check up...just incase.
After waiting a long 2hrs we finally got to see the doctor. He decided to try and pull it out. With Rylen wrapped up in a sheet, 2 nurses, myself and Andrew holding him down he still managed to struggle free. It was so hard to hear Rylen cry and scream!!! The doctor gave up on trying to get it out since it wasn't coming out easily. With Rylen's mouth full of blood and tears streaming down his cheek the nurse gave him a popsicle. Someone was a happy camper after that!!!
The doctor thought that Rylen had an absest tooth and the white thing was a fragment of a tooth coming out.
We left the hospital with the understanding that if the tooth fragment didn't come out in 2 days that I would make an appointment with a dentist. I buckled him in the carseat and realised that the tooth fragment was gone!! I guess with the doctor pulling on it and then Rylen eating the popsicle it came out.
Wondering if Rylen was even going to have a molar on that side 2 days later we have a tooth! Its too soon to tell if its broken but he finally has his molars making their way through after 5 months of waiting.
