TOOTH PULLED?

MY 2 YEAR OLD WAS LEANING UP AGAINST TRUCK DOOR WHILE INSIDE AND MY DAUGHTER OPENED IT. HE FELL AND NOW 2 TEETH ARE LOOSE.  SHOULD I TAKE HIM TO DOCTOR TO HAVE THEM PULLED OR LET THEM FALL OUT WHILE EATING?

Neither, you should take him to a pediatric dentist as soon as possible and keep him on a soft diet until your dentist tells you otherwise.

Let the dentist may elect to obtain xrays and monitor the teeth.
