Wiggly Teeth
It seems neither wiggly tooth has tightened up. There is too much tissue connecting them for them to come out on their own, so they will need help. We need them out before infection can set in and harm the adult teeth.
So, we will go Jan 28 to have our two front teeth wiggled out. She will get laughing gas and numbing. Meanwhile, I will endure it unmedicated ;). She is scared it will hurt, but there shouldn't be a lot of pain. She will go back a couple more times to be fitted for a fixed, partial denture.
The dentist feels she needs the denture because it may likely be 3 years before her permanent teeth come in and he feels her speech and her bite may be affected during that time. It does seem hard not to be able to bite into anything for several years, then again, I worry that the denture piece may not be comfortable for her, but they say it won't take long for her to get used to it.
The dentist gives out stickers and token for their treasure tower, which is those little vending type things that kids love with trinkets in them. She is really racking up lately!
