teeth through lip?
My daughter fell and put her teeth through her lip... anyone else had this happen... shiver was there too much scaring? Any tips... she seen the out of hour doctor who figures stitches would do more damage, but it keeps bleeding on and off. She has three holes inside her lower lip and one on the outside. I asked about salt rinses and he just said do what makes you feel comfortable, the mouth heals quick... erg, wish they'd give more advice. I'm a nurse for crying out loud but when ever something happens to my children I just think there has to be more I could do... I have given her an ice cube to hold on it wrapped in saran wrap and a paper towel. She thinks she's invincible now though, I let her eat ice cream to numb it and because I thought she wouldn't be able to chew dinner, well between the sugar buzz and the pain meds the doctor gave her she's flying... I wish she's just sit still and let me bubble wrap her (

the doc is right the mouth does heal very quickly, it wasnt long til i was back to normal.
Hope she is ok now )
Try not to worry too much Hedgie, I'm sure your daughter will heal quickly, she'll have forgotten about it in no time.
My sister got kicked in the mouth by a horse when she was 15. It shattered her front teeth and badly cut her lip. She had 30 stitches in the lip in all, 25 inside and 5 outside and even after all that you can barely see the scar unless you know it's there! I'm sure your LO will be OK!
I'm glad to hear that everyone or their los have healed well. Steph, your poor sister, that had to have been so very painful. It is really is a testament to how well the body can fix it's self.
My sister was sat under a tree when the neighbor's 17 year old cat fell asleep and rolled off a branch. The cat landed on my sister's head and scratched her up really badly. She ended up with 60 odd stitches but she did scar quite a bit. Just one of those rely random things.
