Day 188 - 2010

Matt made a fabulous creation at the dentist office. These toys never seem to go out of style - we have them at home but they aren't played with all that often and yet they are immediately pounced up on here. I also bet they will want to get them out once we get home.

Day 63 - Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Poor Matt. He had to get another tooth pulled out today. Last week he was complaining about pain in his upper right tooth (which had a cap) and they recommended removing it as they couldn't see anything - implying it was an absess. They were right. He was a tough guy though and only cried a bit during the freezing. It took an hour for it to take and then the whole process took probably 2 minutes. He was eating dinner at 7:30pm. He was impressed that they had to take it out with pliers. Oh boy. Really - we do brush and floss at least 2 if not 3 times a day! He was surprised to learn that I have had at least 19 teeth removed over my lifetime (no not all cavities - I have a small mouth=))

Day 26 - Monday, January 26, 2009

Today we had to head to the dentist to check on one of Matt's teeth. He mentioned on Saturday that a tooth of his got knocked at school the day before and since it was one with a cap on (that I thought wasn't supposed to fall out until he was 9) I got a little panicked. It turns out that after xrays revealed there aren't any roots anymore and the adult tooth is ready to come up, that everything is okay. He is free to wiggle it out and is overjoyed that the tooth fairy will once again visit. I'm glad that there will be one less shiny tooth to see! Oh lessons learned!
