and needed to get her 2 front teeth extracted. :( I feel so bad for her. She won't get them back until 6, probably 7 years old! She was going up the stairs, probably a bit too fast, and fell forward, knocking her 2 front teeth in. A dentist at the office we go to stayed late just to see her. He said that the roots went so far forward that when he moved them back, it could damage her adult teeth, become looser and possibly then fall out and be swallowed by her, or cause an infection, so he had to take them out. Turned out the teeth only seemed like they weren't loose. When he shifted them to take them out they were totally loose and almost fell out by themselves.
He and the assistant said that she was the bravest girl they have ever had in his office. I must say, I do think she is very brave having to go through a broken arm at 20 months and now this. I guess I'll just have a "toothless wonder" for the next 3 years! :) Pics to come tomorrow.
On another topic.... I went the my allergist tonight and found out I'm allergic to dust mites, a bit of ragweed and a bit of grass pollen. At least I know what to do now. Better than not knowing anything at all!
Oh shes such a cutie I wouldnt worry too much it adds to her cuteness and they will be there before you know it,
ReplyDeleteI had to get my two front teeth pulled out when i was tiny. I went without for years too. She'll be fine. Plus, it's fun looking back through my childhood photos and seeing how many years they were gone. Year after year--still no front teeth. I'm sure she was super brave.
