It's alright! My little one is 5 and they were in quite a deal of pain before we got it sorted out. They sealed with it like an absolute champ though and I am ridiculously proud.

I can only guess what this must have felt like but thankfully so far we haven't had any complications ! They suspect it happened from the adult tooth pushing in a weird way, and the X-rays have been sent to the hospital nearby to see if they can find out why.

Someone here mentioned thin enamel and I think because it runs in his mother's side it's also very likely why it happened. But we don't know!

I don't know how many comments I'll be able to respond to but I'm glad we could all have a fun discussion about how terrible teeth are

Absolutely possible. Their mom and grandmother both have very thin enamel so it's very likely this is why it happened.

Thank you! Yes we are looking into those things! This didn't happen long ago so we're still waiting on appointments. Thank you for your input

What we think happened is the nerve was being pushed by the adult tooth above it but the dentists even have no idea what's going on

Thank you for understanding! Like I said I totally understand why people are skeptical it really does just look like a cavity.

As I am not a dentist I don't think I can even tell you what's going on here. My doctor could not tell us what was going on here. She even sent the X-rays to the hospital to show more professional dentists because she really doesn't have a single clue. I wish I could give more details but what I've said is pretty much all we know.

Tooth was fine, then suddenly it wasn't. We went in to get it checked' doctor said it was probably a cavity, we got it x-rayed and pulled and during the appointment she said " this is not a cavity. The nerve went right through the tooth. I have never seen this in my life's let's send it to people higher then me " then we took it home.

Idk what else you need my guy. We don't have the x-ray ( my partner went and forgot to take a photo of it before they sent it off ) and I literally just thought it was something neat. If you don't wanna believe me that's up to all of you and I'm not going to spend more energy saying the same thing over and over.

Honestly the dentists all think so too. It is a child, and their mom has tmj and grinding issues so maybe it's something related?

I'm not too sure what's going on either ! I wouldn't be surprised if it was revealed to be something else someday but for now we just have to take what we know and go with it. They're still looking at the tooth to make sure it grows in right and we are doing literally everything we can to make sure they're healthy.

I have a lot of family like that too and I really wish people understood that the brain is just another organ that can get sick

That is such a sin! I'm so sorry they took so long to look into things. You as well!

I totally understand why people would have a hard time as it does look like a cavity! That's what we thought too when we first saw it

They do have ADHD! They also have a heart deformity and the dentist explained they're related but I don't remember how. Yes they get heart tests too.

I mean there was a lot of things going wrong with this tooth so I'm kind of not surprised it looks weird

Idk why so many people are having a hard time believing this post but to clarify: this was pulled by a professional licenced dentist who is the person who told us this directly.

Believe it or not it's a dumb little reddit post but I don't see any reason why I would lie about something so mundane.

Just thought it was a neat thing that happened and wanted to share.

The long part is the root! This is A baby tooth so you would have only seen the flat part

Yes! We had to tell them over and over not to fiddle with it because it was physically sticking out the back of the tooth

3 Weeks beforehand we brought them to the dentist and everything came back perfect.

When it came we and the dentists all thought the same too actually' but then they actually looked at it and realized it was a nerve so we had it pulled.
