6 yr olds tooth ripped out by accident?????

Tonight my kids were playing and my 6 yr old daugther had a blanket between her teeth pretending to be a puppy well her older brother came walkin by and ripped the blanket out of her mouth. well apperently when he ripped the blanket out it ripped one of her front teeth out. she said she didnt even know until she went to her room and looked in her mirror. Then of course she was hysterical! but my real question is do you think I need to take her to a dentist ? I mean I am pretty sure it was a baby tooth but it was not loose and ready to come out. I mean there was no bleeding or anything. so what do you think?

Answers:
There's nothing a dentist can do. Have her rinse her mouth out with warm salt water. And keep watch for any change of color or swelling along the gum line.

Kids start losing their baby teeth around 6-8 so her adult tooth will drop.

She was probably going to be losing it soon but it just hadn't loosened to the point she was feeling it.

No pain, no bleeding. Baby tooth.
