On Monday, this man’s 7-year-old son returned home and, out of nowhere, was missing his front tooth.

Yes, before he sent his son to school, he realized that the tooth was a little “wiggly.” However, it was not ready to be pulled out just yet.

So, he asked his son what had happened and was shocked to find out that the school nurse had intervened.

“My son showed me his baby tooth in a baggy and said the nurse pulled it out,” he recalled.

He immediately emailed his teacher to get more context on the situation, and the teacher detailed how his son had been wiggling the tooth a lot.

So, the teacher asked his son if the tooth was going to fall out, and his son wasn’t sure. That’s why the teacher sent his son to the nurse’s office.

According to him, his son’s teacher claimed to have expected the nurse to just take a look at the tooth and give him a call if it was ready to come out. But that just didn’t happen.

Instead, the school nurse decided to pull out the tooth– without informing him first– and his son was not at all comfortable with that. In fact, his son claimed it hurt.

So, he reached out to the school nurse and said that she had no business pulling his son’s tooth.

The nurse claimed that the tooth was pretty loose, though, and that she was just concerned his son might accidentally swallow it.

“I said, ‘Then why didn’t you call me? You are not a dentist, and you caused him pain,'” he detailed.

Well, the woman explained how she had been a nurse for years– implying she knew what she was doing. But he pointed out how her long career meant that she should have known better than to pull a tooth without contacting him as a parent.

Plus, he accused the school nurse of being disgraceful and unprofessional before going to the school’s vice principal.

The vice principal confirmed that pulling teeth is not within the nurse’s scope of work and agreed that he should have been notified first.

“And the vice principal was [angry] that the school nurse didn’t even send a note that my son saw her, which is standard,” he added.

Still, he got told that he could’ve toned down his “daddy bear” attitude a bit when approaching the school nurse about the situation.

So now, he’s been left wondering if he went too far by reporting the school nurse and claiming she’s not a dentist.

How would you feel if you were in his shoes? Do you agree that the school nurse was out of line? Did he overreact by reporting the school nurse or not?
