Taylor's Dental Visits

Taylor has had to see the dentist twice this month, once for a cleaning and they ended up having to pull a tooth (the adult tooth was coming in behind the stubborn baby tooth) and the second time to have his mouth fit for a space maintainer. A few months ago he cracked a canine in half and those babys dont come in for a few more years. While we were at the second visit the dentist realized that in order to put the maintainer in he would have to pull yet another tooth. And upon further examination decided that two more had to come out, not due to the space maintainer but because they were growing in funny and he didn't want the adult teeth to follow suit. So in two weeks poor Taylor has had to have FOUR teeth pulled and that is not counting the canine that came out a few months ago.LOL He looks quite funny right now as he is missing the top front two and three of the bottom front. He can't eat much as he has no teeth to bite with. And to think we go back on 6 July to put the maintainer in...I wonder if he will decide to pull some more. Don't worry we love our dentist and he not out for the money as he has been giving us some deep discounts on the kids dental work. YEAH for an honest dentist. The tooth fairy paid him well...I guess when you get mulitiple teeth pulled you get an award.
