The kids all went in a few weeks ago for a dental check up. All are doing great with dental health. No cavities! Yeah!
Our dentist recommended that we have one of Mason's baby teeth pulled though. He has lost three teeth on the bottom and two of the adult teeth have come in. The two adult teeth were beginning to move into the empty space where the other adult tooth has not come in yet. The dentist wanted to pull that fourth baby tooth on the bottom so the two adult teeth will stop moving away from the baby tooth and into the empty space. Also, once those two adult teeth begin to come in, there will be space for them to come into. With pulling this one tooth, the dentist said hopefully the teeth will come in straight and he will not need braces.
Mason was really nervous about having a tooth pulled, but the staff at our dental office are wonderful with kids and were able to calm his nerves and help him through the process.
