The 27-year-old Mitchell Gravenmier from the u.s. state Utah are now warning parents to take good care of their children when they are brushing their teeth, after his own five-year-old daughter, Celeste fell from her bed while she had a toothbrush in his mouth. The dramatic accident created a two centimeter hole in the little girl's neck.
She had to subsequently be treated in a hospital, where she had sewn the hole in the mouth together.

Mitchell Gravenmier has also put an ad out on his Facebook, where he explains about the fatal accident.
A pleasant evening earlier this month, where Mitchell and his wife Victoria made ready to tuck their two children, five-year-old Celeste and her two-year-old brother, Matthew, got Celeste allowed to brush his teeth finished, while she was sitting in her bed.
Mitchell explained to his daughter that she should let be, with the jumping around in the bed, while she brushed her teeth. He turned then for a few seconds to talk with his wife Victoria. And in almost the same moment he heard a deafening scream from Celeste, who had fallen down from the bed, while she still had his toothbrush in his mouth.
Mitchell turned immediately and saw her daughter lying on the floor with blood flowing out between the lips. Mitchell took the toothbrush out of his daughter's mouth and looked into her mouth. And here he saw a about two centimeters big hole, as the toothbrush had created in connection with the fall.
Mitchell drove immediately to his daughter in the hospital, where she underwent a two-hour long operation, where the hole in the mouth was stitched together.

Five-year-old Celeste has now got it much better. But today she is afraid to brush their teeth. The doctors also say that she might also want to get a little difficulty speaking in the future.
- All children are told that they must not run around or jump when they have something in the mouth, but they never see what the outcome of it can be. Something that can look for all of the children quite quickly, says Mitchell.

- today we are happy that the toothbrush does not smoke down through my daughter's neck. The doctors told us also that the toothbrush could have destroyed the blood vessels in the mouth, if it had hit a little further to one of the sides. And it would have caused an even more violent bleeding, says Mitchell.
today is Celeste again together with his parents and his younger brother, and she has come on a strict diet, where she only allowed to eat liquid diet in the next two weeks.
In the future we will Mitchell and Monica keep a sharp eye with both of their children when they are brushing their teeth.
- We do not take our eyes from them, before they are completely finished with brushing the teeth and put the toothbrush away, says Mitchell.
