Lily's New Smile

Lily had some extremely reluctant baby teeth. Her dentist suggested we pull them. I was hesitant so a friend recommended we see her orthodontist for a consultation. He suggested the same thing, so after seeing another doctor, and missing a bunch of school, Lily had FIVE teeth pulled out during spring break!

And After:

Her new adult teeth should be able to grow in now that the baby teeth aren't in the way. And we'll be heading back to the orthodontist in a couple of months to start talking about straightening them out.

Wow, what an adventure for an 8-yr old! How's she feeling about it?

Her smile looks like over half the kids in Elizabeth's class! I hope the new teeth come in now.

Wow, I hope the tooth fairy was generous! Houghton has the same problem and we've spent lots of time with the dentist!
