They don't like to mess with anything in or around the mouth. It's in the little piddly rural ER in my rural practice town so i'm guessing he had bigger fish to fry at the time.
It's no problem in terms of me doing it. It's not preferable and I went ahead and referred him on to a plastic surgeon just in case he needs something later but it was pretty small so I don't think it will be a problem.
Kid was pretty freaked out though. My assistant enjoyed it more than I did.
