My 2 year old son fell, front tooth is loose!!??

My son's hemangioma is on his lower right cheek.  It started out VERY small...I thought it was just a mark from my ring when I would nurse him.  It got bigger...I was so scared.  He is 2 1/2 now and it has gone down soooo much.  We are so used to it now that i am not as bothered by it.  I worried about when he would go to school and other kids would ask about it...we have not had to deal with this being how he isn't school aged yet, but honestly if it doesn't go down any further, I am fine with it the way it is now.  If you would have asked me that even a year ago, my answer probably would be different!  I have come to terms with it...and the ladies here helped me through that part when I was a regular poster and I can never thank them enough for the support they gave me at that time.  It really does mean the world when some one can help ease another persons worries! 
I hated/hate (although  am used to it now)  when people would ask "what happened"... then the shock when I said "nothing happened...it's just a birth mark"!  They have told us similar to you...they said keep an eye on it until he is 3/4/5 then at that point if it doesn't go away they would do some laser treatments on it.  It really has gone down a lot and I am so thankful for that.  As long as it doesn't affect sight, breathing or eating, it was fine to leave alone.  Just be careful if he hits it hard, it could bleed quite a bit if it opens up.  Aethyns opened a little and had like a scab on it, but it healed up and it was ok.   Hope your little guys goes down too...Aethyn's didn't for quite some time, but it is now.  The ladies here have reassured me in the past and I hope I can reassure you too!
A few weeks old...hard to see it, but it is the tiny pink spot...that's what I thought was from my ring.

Hope that can ease your mind a little!  Thanks for the reply!!

Wow...that has gone down a huge amount since the 8/10 month pictures!  Not that I know a thing about them, but I'd tend to agree with you...if it stays the way it is, I'd let it be. 

I've no information/experience with the tooth issue, but would say it might be worth a 2nd opinion just to make sure it's necessary before removing the tooth.  Once it's removed, you can't put it back, but getting a 2nd opinion to make sure it needs removed could give a different answer - and peace of mind that you're doing what's necessary.  When you get a 2nd opinion, ask the dr the pros and cons of actually removing the tooth or not.

No matter what happens, though, know you're a good mom...and you can't bubble wrap your kids to protect them from every potential injury...you can only try to fix the 'boo-boos' as they happen and head off what you can.  I'm sure your husband knows that, he's just reacting with his emotions right now, not his head.

It really has gone down a lot.  I didn't realize how big it had really got until I looked back at pictures.  It used to bother me a whole bunch, but now it is something I have come to terms with and it is a lot lighter then it was.  I think it is still breaking up.  When you look at it up close you can see where it is changing.  I would like the puffy-ness to go down a little bit more, but the Dr's said that we could laser it later.  I think I have decided to leave it until he tells me he wants something done.  If it never bothers him and he wants to keep it the way it is, that's fine by me.  If he wants to have a little laser done, I am OK with that too. 
Like you said, the 2ND opinion would be more for my peace of mind.  It's not something I want to do to him, but I don't want him to have additional problems later if we leave it.  At least it was his baby tooth and not an adult tooth!!
Wouldn't that be great though if we could bubble wrap them their whole life!! 
I know my husband was just reacting...He doesn't handle that kind of stress well (He has a lot with work, so home gets lost in it sometimes) and I don't handle him under stress well...LOL!!  We are looking at our insurance and we think we have it covered...it doesn't fall under our dental (Our dental is bundled with our health) but it would be covered under his Employee Trust Fund Medical!    So that reduces some of the stress...not to come to terms with my son getting it pulled and having a hole in his smile!  :)   We will get through this!  Thank you so much for the support!  At times like this, it is very much appreciated!

No, thank you for your reply! I left my last Dr's appointment (April 27th) feeling very depressed and overly stressed about this. Now that I have seen your story through your words and pictures- you have put my stress level to an ease. The doctor never seemed concerned at his 2 week appointment (and I am 100% positive I pointed this out to her) and at his 2 month appt she seemed a little bit more concerned- especially with where his lies. I went home and literally cried for hours over it thinking my baby was going to have to have surgery at such a young age. I did a lot of research and have seen that a lot of cases the hemangioma shrinks and becomes almost invisible by the age of 5, but I wasn't sure how skeptical I really was about it. Thank you for giving me hope that this may in fact be a birth mark that will hopefully go away on its own and will not be a cause for surgery on my youngin. He's now 3 months old and it hasn't grown much in size and I'm very sure to take a look at it every day, but it's still kind of a scary situation. thank you thank you thank you!! I searched and searched for a picture where his was noticeable, but it's odd because of where his is at and his hairline works well enough to just cover it up lol  I need to post some updated pics here soon and will be sure you take a shot where it can be seen. Again- thank you so much- you really have set my mind at ease! :)

Hey there Rebecca,
I remember you and Aethyn! So sorry this happened. My son Emad fell on our back porch and chipped the very bottom of his front tooth but still got it checked out. It is barely noticeable but I felt horrible so I can imagine how you feel. It WAS an accident though.
I like the others would get a second opinion or at least wait a week or so before rushing the decision. Depending on how bad the damage is it could heal or get better. Worse case scenario is it does not and tooth dies and falls out or has to come out. If he has no direct risk of infection to wait a week why not. Good Luck!

Good to know some people remember who I am.  I wasn't sure if anyone would remember or not since it has been so long.  I had to schedule his appt. already, but it isn't until June 7th, so that gives me a little bit of time to watch it and think some more.  I think I may get a second opinion just to help ease my mind with whatever we decide to do.  His gum line is pretty red, but no infection yet.  Will be keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't get one!  It's hard to tell with a two year old how much it hurts or not.  One minute he will tell me yes, the next no...When he says yes, not sure if he is saying yes it hurts or yes, he hurt it. 
Thank you so much for the reply!  It really does help to get others opinions and thoughts! 

I haven't read all the responses yet...but I wouldn't pull the tooth....NOT YET at least!!  When my middle son was three he fell of a tricycle and the first thing that connected to the concrete was his two front teeth.  We took him to the emergancy room first (had to get get stitches in his lip) and then to the dentist.  The dentist told us soft mushy foods for the next 2 weeks....and that has long as his teeth don't start to turn black (nerve damage) then they will be ok.  His teeth were VERY loose.

Fast forward 4 years later....we're still eagerly awaiting for those two front teeth to get loose and fall out.

If the teeth aren't changing colors....leave them alone!!

Thank you so much for the reply!  They did take x-rays of his gums when I took him in to check it out.  There were nerves that had damage.  Not sure how much, but it was definitely there.  We talked to the dentist today again, and she told us he does have a fracture in his tooth above the gum line, and if we leave it, it will just decay and die and most likely infected!  It has not changed in color as of yet.  We don't have his appointment to pull it until the 7th of June, so that at least gives a week or so to think on it some more!  I really hate the thought of putting my baby through something like that. 
It is so nice to hear other peoples story.  Helps put your mind at ease that you are not alone and doing the right thing.

I'm new to this site, hi everyone :)  my son Alex (2 1/2 years old)  fell at school yesterday and his bottom tooth is loose, a little loose.  But there was a trace of bleeding at the gumline and it does wiggle a little.  I am having the same issue, when I ask him if it hurts, he says yes, but he doesn't complain.  We have an appointment to see the dentist on Thursday.  I'm just curious, whatever happened with your son's tooth?  Did you get a second opinion?  Did the tooth have to be pulled?  This is actually the second time this has happened to my little one if you can believe that, the first time was about a year ago, both times at school, the first time it happened the top tooth had to be removed because it was fractured under the gumline.  I'm praying it doesn't happen this time.  I can totally relate, it makes you feel like a horrible mom.  I can't imagine what people will think if my son has two missing teeth and he's not even three yet! 

Wow...this is a really old post! LOL! We did have to have his tooth pulled! There was just too much damage that couldn't/wouldn't fix on its own! . He handled it extremely well though...probably better then I did! We get comments all the time about it now how he is only 4 and already missing a tooth! We used to have to explain it to people, but now he tells them the story of why he is missing his tooth and who took it out! I felt terrible for so long but now know there wasn't a whole lot I could do! I can****ch him day and night his whole life! So sorry to hear this happened to your son... Not once, but twice! I hope it works out for you guys! I think it must be a right of passage for little boys! LOL!
(Also, Thankfully our insurance did end up taking care of it! Big relief!!! Not our dental, but our medical! Our dentist office was so great helping us figure all that out!!)
