Well, I knocked a baby tooth loose, myself. Worst case is that the baby tooth comes out and he has the gap there for longer than if a baby tooth comes out the regular way. It could cause a little trouble with alignment down the road, but really, it's no biggie.
Regardless, a trip to the dentist couldn't hurt and is frankly, recommended. If it's broken it should come out, and if there are intact roots, they may need attention, too, to prevent infection.
get to a dentist - if teeth fall out too early, the new ones underneath can grow in wrong. There are kids that lose teeth as young as 4, but given that he fell and hit the tooth like that, I'd have a dentist take a look - otherwise you may find yourself with really really expensive and painful toothwork down the road.
I would take him to the dentist. It isn't supposed to do that. Aly fell at about that age and had her front tooth chipped and there was a ton of blood from it. She sat calmly and let the doctor look at it. he said if it was loose and wiggley then that may be something, but she was fine.
I think since Jay's teeth are wiggling you should take him to the doctor.
I wasn't looking atthe date. I saw your name and the entry and just typed. :) I did remember you saying something about it a while back. It didn't dawn on me that this one was the same incident.
