A mishap on a school trip led to a young autistic boy needing emergency dentistry recently.
Elliot Scott, 14, had been visiting Belton Park when he ran up a wet slide and slipped, the Lincolnshire Echo reports.
He injured his face and knocked out five front teeth, resulting in the trip being abandoned as the youngster was driven back to Ambergate Sports College.
Madison Eaves, Elliot’s mother, said he was in a lot of pain after the accident and had to have quite a lot of emergency dentistry.
“It isn’t that sore now, but I have to wear a brace for a year and my teeth are still loose,” explained Elliot.
Earlier this month, a toddler in the US had to have emergency dentistry after he fell from a two-storey window.
The fire brigade said he was lucky to survive, but the 21-month-old only had a chipped tooth and a few cuts to show for his escapade.
