Subject: RE: BS: Sitting At The Kitchen Table
Thanks for the nice dentist references, Jerry. We get some every now and again but not too often! Last Saturday I had a friend call me in a panic. His 10 year old daughter had been to a birthday party and while jumping on the trampoline she decided it would be a good idea to grab the safety net with her teeth! Bad Idea. One of her front teeth got ripped completely out. Mom panicked and asked for milk to put the tooth in. None was available so she put it in Vanilla Ice Cream. I wonder what in the heck the poor tooth was thinking when this happened! After sitting in the emergency room for nearly 2 hours, they called me in a panic to see what if anything I could do. I had them come right in to the office, I got her numb, put the tooth back in place and splinted it there with some tooth colored adhesive. Next day she auditioned for the lead in Alladin, and later on had a piano recital, both of which she was able to perform perfectly. A good feeling to get that kind of results on a youngster.
