Halloween Aftermath

On Halloween Chris spent the evening at a friends house where they decorate and set up the porch like a small haunted house to scare the older trick or treaters. Sometime during the evening he and a friend collided and he hit his mouth on his friends head. When he came home he said his tooth hurt. I looked at it and didn't see anything and it wasn't loose, so didn't give it much thought. He mentioned on Tuesday it still hurt and after he brushed his teeth Tuesday night he noticed that there was a small fracture line horizontal across a lower front tooth. We went to the dentist today and indeed it is fractured. Now the waiting game. He is on a soft diet and advil for a week. The best case scenario is it will heal and everything will be fine. The worst case scenario is that he will need a root canal and a crown. I suggested he not eat anything at all for a week, but he didn't particularly care for that idea.
I thought the only thing to worry about after halloween was too much sugar. I certainly didn't anticipate this. We go back to the dentist next Wednesday afternoon. Hopefully we will know more at that point, but I'm not sure we will.
