My son just had a dental cleaning and the dentist came out to discuss dental implants for him. My son is only eight but since he fell two months ago and knocked out two of his adult teeth that are at the front of his mouth, the dentist thinks that dental implants would be best and the sooner we get them in, the better.

The pediatric dentistry office we took him to when it happened told us that we should let the swelling go down and then schedule an appointment with our family dentist to see what he or she thought would be the best step to take next for my son. I did feel like the pediatric dentistry office knew what should be done but did not want to tell us.

It took us two months from the day he knocked his teeth out, to get in for this cleaning and consultation with our regular family dentist so the fear and not knowing of what they would recommend were not as bad as what they were when it first happened. My son is quite scared about the words dental implants but the doctor assured him that since he is so young, they will just be a part of him that he will soon forget all about.
