Before and After

Who would have thought to have your baby teeth pulled by the dentist? Well, that was the case with Miss Mattie. I started noticing white dots behind her not very loose front bottom baby teeth. After a couple of days I realized they were her permanent teeth coming in with no regards to her baby teeth that were still in her mouth. I called the dentist and got some over the phone advice. He said, if the baby teeth were not practically falling out of her mouth, then the permanent teeth coming in could cause the semi-loose baby teeth gums to tighten up around the baby teeth thus causing two sets of teeth. Oh, no, we cannot have that. So off the the dentist last Thursday to let the dentist check out the situation. He confirmed we had to get the baby teeth out that day.

He wants to keep a close eye on the top baby teeth because we may have the same situation when that time comes.

Wow, I can't believe we hit the lost tooth milestone, even if it was medically assisted. But what I really can't believe is that she got $10 bucks from the tooth-fairy!
