Tooth went through upper lip

[AR29]

I'm just glad that OUR teeth don't do this! Hope it goes well- it shouldn't be a big deal, even though it sounds fairly awful.

The one I remember doing this was a BP also- their "big mouths" get them in trouble, but boas can easily do it too, sometimes.

I couldn't agree more!

Thank you so much, your tips were very helpful and I got the tooth out! She seemed relieved afterwards and was really calm considering the situation.

I tried the curl method first, gently using a cotton swob that I had removed the cotton from and I wasn't able to get the tooth out after a few attempts. I didn't want to risk cutting through her upper lip by putting too much pressure, so I went to the pull method and it came right out! I dabbed some betadine on after and it looks like nothing happened now.

I'm going to continue to keep a close eye on her but I feel SO relieved and I am very grateful for your help!

I do have boas as well, so while I hope this doesn't ever happen again, if it does, at least I'll have some experience with how to handle it.
