My son who is 51/2 had his 1st visit from the tooth fairy about 3 weeks ago. However he has another loose tooth that is giving us a problem. It has been bleeding for about a week. It is very loose. Is this normal? Does he need a "dental intervention"? He has gone to the school nurse everyday this week! What do you think?:D

I'd suggest you take a tissue, grab hold of the loose tooth and twist it until it comes out. It won't take long, just a quick, firm twist should do it. It is probably just attached to tissue.
Good luck.

flossie, meant to give you a positive rating so sorry. I was hoping to give you equilizer it won't let me. I'm sorry

No problem, I don't pay much attention to the greenies and reddies.
The bleeding is fairly normal as long as it's not profuse bleeding. When the tooth moves, it'll bleed.
Maybe the tooth fairy should up the ante if he gets the tooth out by bedtime tonight:D

Good idea!

Let me know how fast it comes out now! Lol
