Lately Nicolas has been clamping his jaw so tight that you can hear his teeth grind. Today when he did it during therapy, we saw a little blood...so I pried his little lips apart to see if he was biting his tongue. He wasn't but his top teeth cut into his gums in front of the lower teeth. After that, it got worse. He proceeded to get upset to where he has loosened a tooth on bottom. One bottom tooth is hanging in front and the other in back of his top teeth. Every time he gets upset he clamps down biting and cuts the area between his two bottom teeth. We are trying to keeping a pacifier in his mouth to help prevent further injury. I'm very heart broken and feel helpless...but I called Riley and they're trying to help us. They have upped his Valium (to try and relax him), I am going to give him Tylenol, and we have an appointment tomorrow at 9:20 to see a Pediatric Dentist here in town. If you have been following this you know he has ALWAYS clamped his jaw...nothing is getting in there! We have constantly asked the Doctors what can we do to relax his jaw...and at this point they're are doing everything they can. When he is older they can Botox the muscle...but not until he is 2! So we keep waiting! It is so frustrating... I'll let you know what we find out tomorrow. Please keep Nicolas in your prayers tonight...It is so heartbreaking to watch.
