The Whole Tooth?

So here's the whole tooth truth and nothing but the tooth truth (seriously, had to!), so the story goes, the older two kids were visiting their dad in KC and wanted to do some mattress surfing down the stairs, this idea was over ruled by their step mom and a movie was suggested, so somehow in watching a movie, Ethan fell off the couch and his face bit the hardwood floor, resulting in this....

OH, THE IRONY!

Later on he even cut his lip on a jagged part of the now broken tooth!  Thankfully, there was no lasting discomfort or and problems with heat or cold, so it didn't ruin their trip to The Great Wolf Lodge. 


This morning, even before school, where he would either,
A. Face some embarrassment over the missing fraction of a front tooth, or 

B. Get to show it off to all his buddies (I'm not sure which),

 we went to see the dentist who said they could fix him right up and in one hour we saw this...

We can't tell if there are other cracks anywhere that we, or the dentist can't see, so, time will tell.

For now, it looks great, and you definitely can't tell, he will have to be very careful because it is more fragile now, something I would hope he takes seriously, but I don't have too high of expectations!  He's a boy, after all, maybe it would give him some "street cred" if they just filed it down a bit (if it breaks again)?
