Proceed With Caution


The following picture is not for the faint of heart...

Matthew had an accident shortly before Christmas. He fell on a moving treadmill which caught on his braces completely pulling out one of his teeth and loosening the two front ones.  The dentist said to reinsert the tooth back in the hole and rush him right into the office.  There the dentist put a brace behind the three teeth and sent us home with pain killer and penicillin.  We then waited hoping that the teeth would re-attach. Three weeks  later we find that all three will require root canals and internal bleaching to make them white again.  The crazy thing about it all was that Matthew never felt any pain, at least not with the teeth.  The rest of his poor body really took a beating and he was sore for a week.  Have you ever seen treadmill burns?
