my 2 and a half year old son just hit his mouth on the t.v. stand. there is a cut in the corner of his mouth just in the inside on the soft pink cheek tissue. and the teeth on the top to the side are a bit bloody around the gumline and the gums themselves have sort of a minor blood blister. should i take him for stitches? or to the dentist for an x ray? or just wait?
Hello. I just read through your question. This is very common in child Chat Doctor. In general, cuts inside the mouth are not stitched. So you don't have to rush anywhere for this. As long as he seems otherwise ok, and you were able to stop the bleeding, it is ok to wait and let things heal on their own.
