Kid came bolting up the two steps from the playroom, slipped, and put an upper tooth through his lower lip from the outside. The gouge is narrow but deep. I don't think it goes all the way through, but there is an abrasion on the inside, too, so I'm not a hundred percent certain. The bleeding and crying stopped almost immediately.

I texted both parents and sent a photo and put in a Brightwheel note. They don't think they need to pick up unless he's inconsolable. I'm concerned with how deep the cut is and with his age--he's 18 months and I can't keep him from swiping at the lip.

What can I do to treat it here other than antibacterial ointment, since it's on a lip?

Should I just insist on pick up?
