Will a tongue that's been bitten through involve stitches?!?


My little boy (6) has fall, bitten through his tongue and broken a chunk off his tooth! The tooth isn't bothering him at the moment, so I don't assume we need to see the emergency dentist today. But I am rather worried about his tongue! It seem to have stopped bleeding, but it is still immensely painful...

Any warning would be most welcome! Why do these things other happen on a public holiday?!

Answers:

I bruise effortlessly.. should I be worried?


They dont usually require sutures. My only verbs would be that the broken there is a possibility that nearby may be a tooth fragment within the wound - for this point I would get it professionally checked.

Good luck

I would definitely go and get it checked out by your GP if possible or A & E department. Depends on character of tissue damage as to whether stitching is important. Other consideration is infection and he may need a tetanus injection.

Going through affliction killer subtraction..ugh!?

If the tongue is bitten through and through, then they seriously consider suturing a tongue. Otherwise, they tolerate it heal on its own because it will make well faster without sutures. But it is ONLY when it go completely through that it needs stitches. His tetanus should be up to date, it is supposed to be given at 5 years of age, and is upright for 5 years with an injury, 10 years minus. It is also doubtful they would give antibiotics, the tongue have so many vessel that the blood flow dimishes the chance of infection from self-injury. If it be from something outside of the body, it would be different.

The tongue does not usually require stitches to heal, but this can depend on the extent of the injury, i.e. - how much have he bitten through.

Considering his age, I would take him to see your GP, or dentist today, this will also put your mind at rest.
