Where the hell can you find a light that will fit "behind" a tooth like this in your home? Well, if I was at home and wanted to redneck engineer something to do an exam, I would use my browning fiber optic bore cleaning light that works perfectly for such an inspection.  Just a tip that those who will potentially face a similar situation in a walk-in field hospital can use to help ID cracks/fractures in front teeth that aren't easily identifiable under normal visual exam.

Bore light, Great, Be sure you Clean the CLP off of it first, Unless you want the Kid to end up like me
It wouldn't surprise me if AM rubbed Hoppes and LPS on my gums when I was teething
Good times,
