Narrative

EE was adding rods on an up hole. A piece of gravel came down and contacted them between the lip and nostril. There was no broken skin, pain or anything to otherwise indicate an injury. They wiped the dirt off lip and went about the day. Approx. 4 hours later they ate a banana and a tooth in the front right (about where the gravel contacted them) came out while chewing.
