My memory is super shaky cause we were little, I just knew that she could wiggle them out and in so I don't know how they were applied. This was also like early 90s so who knows what's changed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-baby-teeth#post-2920489 Thu, 05 Nov 2020 11:50:21 +0000 poppygirl15 2920489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi, I don't have any personal experience, but my nephew knocked out one of his front teeth when he was 3 and has simply been sporting the gap-tooth look ever since, waiting for his grown-up tooth to make an appearance. He's 5 now. I assume his new tooth will grow in next year or the year after. Don't know how this would work with two missing front teeth, though. GL to your nephew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/broken-baby-teeth#post-2920440 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 11:45:15 +0000 julie31 2920440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello-</p> <p>My nephew is 1.5 yo. Yesterday he had a bad fall: he had to have 4 stitches on his tongue and broke his two top teeth. The poor kiddo is a late teeter like everybody in this family and only had 4 teeth so far. Now the top two teeth are not just chipped, they are gone.</p> <p>Anybody had to deal with an injury like this? Did it affect your LO’s feeding? How about his speech development? Did you need the help of a speech therapist?</p> <p>Any insight would be greatly appreciated. My sister is rightfully so pretty freaked out. She also lives in a part of the world where she doesn’t have access to a ton of medical services so that makes it even harder... thanks! </p>
