    What do I do
    My daughter is 3 and she hit her face ( Im guessing on the floor, she said her LITTLE sister hit her ) My husband was on the couch with them playing on the floor and now her two bottom teeth are loose, her mouth was bleeding, I cleaned hr up and realized it was from her teeth - should I take her to the dentist soon, or has this ever happened to anyone else... she hasn't had any injuries so I'm clueless when it comes to her - Im used to bumped heads and busted lips, not loose teeth :(

    Do not wiggle the tooth. The more it is wiggled the less chance of saving it.
    Sometimes if it is not too lose and left alone the gums will heal back.
    Take her to the dentist sometimes they can even save a tooth that has even fallen out.

    Take her to the dentist! This happened to my daughter they extracted her teeth, but this can be very uncomfortable for a child with loose teeth, better have a professional opinion then trying to play doctor yourself.

    Thank you guys... they aren't too loose, only if you wiggle them pretty good - they barely move, but moved enough to noctice it when my husband checked them. I'll make her an appointment for the next day or two. Thanks again!
