So update on my little girls tooth.
Days after posting she was seen by a dentist and we were told it could go a few ways but nothing could be done until it abscesses. It's been fine since with weekly applications of a paint on fluoride to cover the root. Last Wednesday she started getting really grumpy( no idea why at the time) she's had a hard time sleeping and won't eat. Being she is 2 and can't talk much we have spent days looking into why the change( is she sick? in pain? Or just naughty?) . Saturday we noticed she seemed to be really sensitive on that tooth and her gums were swollen around the tooth. Got in to see the dentist for emergency and told it's swelling from plaque on the tooth as we have been very gentle brushing the area. This morning she has been a bear and screams when even her soother touches the tooth. Also noticed the tooth itself is noticeably twisted and lower( pushed out of the gums) than it was even yesterday. Wife just got out of emergency at the hospital with her and was told...they can't see actual infection and to see a dentist. Grrr...she hasn't really slept well or eaten much since last Wednesday. Feels like we are just getting the run around when it's very apparent her tooth is hurting. Dentist's seem to still be cautious with treatments and doctors just say go see a dentist. Frustrated as normal conditions would have had the dentist fill the tooth or pull it right from the start. Which is what we have been told by at least 3 different dentist's.
