That'll knock your teeth right out

[Betty]

We spent last night at the Urgent Care and ER after my 11 year old son had a bicycle accident and knocked out 3 of his adult teeth, made his other front tooth crooked and has another back tooth hanging by a thread! ( !!! )

Poor guy. We didn't find the teeth. His accident was on a dirt/gravel road in front of our house and all the gravel resembles teeth. After 20 minutes of search and thinking I'd found a tooth only to pick up yet another rock, we gave up. Maybe he swallowed them? I have no idea.

My husband is taking him to the dentist this morning.

Have any of you knocked out teeth before? That weren't able to save and put back in?

I'm wondering what the process is ahead of us and how long it may take.

He didn't eat dinner or breakfast. I'm afraid he's going to un clot the clots and start the bleeding again. Poor guy.

While at the urgent care, the check in guy and the dr both told him not to worry because they'd had their teeth knocked out too.

So - any advice on what to expect? What he may be able to eat in the upcoming days? What to avoid?
