Well, true to form, we had to head to the dentist for tooth extraction today, my kids are known for this, and Little Man is no different. His big boy teeth just come in and we cannot wiggle that little baby tooth out in time......so we go to our terrific Dr Brad at Southmoor Pediatric Dentistry and sat in the chair for the third extraction out of the 4 teeth that have made it to the tooth fairy.
Here he is showing off the ONLY tooth that he got out all by himself....and one of the two that he had surgery for when he was 15 Months old. He is such a big boy with Dr Brad because doc is amazing but also because we have been going to him for almost 9 years (wow where does the time go....)
He did not lose his first two bottom teeth until he was almost 9.....he is a pack rat so I guess he wants to hole on to his teeth just like he does with the rocks he picks up when we take hikes.
So today at 2:30 he got the other front tooth pulled
On the way home, I hear him talking to his little sister..."Now sissy, if you ever have to get a tooth pulled, it really doesn't hurt. They first put this jelly on your gums and you can not even feel that because is on a huge ear cleaner (q~tip type thing) and it is just to make your gums numb. Then Dr Brad takes a really big needle but you cant feel that because of the jelly he put on, it just stings a second and fizzes. But I will have to say, you need to be brave because if you have to have it done, it doesn't hurt at all even though it looks like it would be really painful."
What a SUPER big brother, he loves his sisters so much.......
