Baby Fell and busted mouth open?

My 9 1/2 month old fell and hit her mouth on my other daughters draweres under her bed and today is the 1st day I have really got a good look at it,and the gums above her left top tooth are split in half and the part that connects lip to gums is torn. I was wondering if that will heal its self or what. I called the dr and am waiting for them to call but was wondering if anyone ever been through this? Please Respond

    my kids have done this more than once - give her an ice pop. It will help stop the bleeding. The Dr won't do anything. It heals pretty quickly on it's own.

    as a mum and childcare worker i've seen it a hundred times over. The mouth always bleeds the worst! her gums will be purple and swollen and although the mouth is the worst for bleeding it is also the quickest to heal. it will heal itself but if it's causing her pain, give her some panadol and something cold to suck on like a cold teething ring or a cordial ice block. The only thing that may be affected in the long term is her teeth. it may have caused nerve damage to a tooth or two. my daugter hit her mouth on the side of my iron bed and her tooth turned gray. thankfully her adult tooth turned out just fine.

    My 19 month old did this final week...cut up open his lip with a enamel. we've an issue now with him hiking on the laptop chairs...yet as quickly as we are interior a similar room we enable him as long as we are close. nicely my husband replaced into sitting appropriate beside him and he fell off the chair and cried demanding and loud! when I got here up from the basement they have been up interior the bathing room and my son replaced into sucking on a chilly textile to boot. It did no longer stay swollen long, basically a pair hours. i'd desire to o.k. of been mad at my husband for no longer catching him, yet I comprehend those issues are going to take place...

    I am sure it will be fine, but it is a good thing to contact a doctor about it they will be able to tell you better. Babies are going to fall and get hurt, some major and some not. Good luck hope she feels better soon.

    Many many times! It will heal. As long as it looks like her teeth are ok, I would probably not worry about it.
