Tooth is gone

[lunaradius]

Today I had Emily in the back yard playing and she decided to play with her ball (volleyball) when she grabbed it she started to shake it I thought she was playing then it flew out of her mouth and she jerked her body like a shot of pain.
I had her sit and looked in her mouth and it was bleeding I brought her inside and stuffed some paper towels in it to find out where she was bleeding while I am doing this my Daughter is yelling I found her tooth.
I got the tooth out of the ball it was the root and all, she is fine tonight even though that was her baby tooth should I be more worried?

I think that's the doggy version of tying a string from a loose tooth to a doorknob and then slamming the door shut! :D It was most likely ready to come out and the volleyball just helped it along. I wouldn't worry, you'll probably see her permanent tooth in no time. :)

You are bound to see more teeth and bloody gums in the future. And don't worry if you don't find them all, often they get swallowed.
