Front teeth

Zachary had to have two teeth pulled on Thursday. His bottom middle baby teeth were still firmly attached to their roots, but the adult teeth were already through the gums and were pushing on those babies and causing him some trouble. Poor guy! One of the roots was about 3 times as long as the actual tooth. It was a bit painful.





He rebounded pretty quickly and was thrilled to find eight $1 dollar bills next to his pillow the next morning. We explained that the tooth fairy must bring extra bucks for teeth that had to be pulled and even more for teeth that still had the roots attached! If you look closely in the little red "treasure chest" you'll see the teeth. One of them looks like a vampire fang and that sharp pointy part was the root that was way... WAY down in his gums. UCK.




He's healing up nicely. The holes in his gums look much less gross today!
