Just a quick note (since Someone is waiting downstairs to help me wrap Mommy Gifts). Katherine went through the dentist with flying colors. She had her little GSA Camp Teddy Bear with her, for comfort, but didn’t seem to need it. She showed off, she sat in the X-ray chair, she went over and brushed the Giant Demo Teeth with the Giant Toothbrush, she had a great time …<\/p>\n
They did a quick X-ray, to make sure they had a good idea of what had happened. The front tooth got distinctly pushed back and pulled out; the dentist thinks it likely that it will eventually come out (and that it will darken up before them); the longer it stays, though, the sooner the permanent tooth will come in.<\/p>\n
No visible damage to the root of the permanent tooth there, which is good. The canine next to it looks a little pushed, too, but not nearly so much. No need for a place holder unless it begins to look like the other teeth are moving in.<\/p>\n
So we basically just hang out with it, unless she begins to complain of pain, or it begins to look infected. Otherwise, we just wait.<\/p>\n
Feel better for having taken her (and she convinced me that she really needed Chik-fil-A for lunch, complete with Play Place outing).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
