Tooth Update

There seems to be very little pain for which I am extremely grateful.
Dave is taking Jo to our normal dentist first thng monday morning to let them see the damage and see what they suggest, but one of my patients is a dentist specialising in childrens teeth, and she's really lovely, so I'm also going to hunt out her contact details and give her a call.
The last thing I want is for Jo to grow up with a complex about her teth looking bad, and since she's already said a couple of times that her teeth are 'ugly' now, I would rather get them sorted sooner than later.

As far as the other child is concerned, I'm going to see what happens for a couple of days, then speak to the headmistress again once I know what we'll need to do to get her teeth fixed and see if I can get some background into why it might have happened.

Jo thinks that he thought that she was trying to take some football stickers off the little boy she was playing with, becuase when she bumped into him he dropped them and she was helping to pick them up, but since he didn't even ask what was happening, and Jo and the other boy are friends , I'm rather concerned about why he reacted with such force.

The strange thing is that her Headmistress said that she had spoken to the teachers on duty in the playground and they hadn't seen any indication that he was going to do anything violent when he walked up to them.
Completely unprovoked and out of the blue.
So I don't know if this was completely out of chatacter or if he's prone to lashing out.
Either way, just keeping him in at playtime for a week doesn't seem enough of a punishment, though I'm rather glad that he's being kept away from Jo, just incase he starts again.
