The kiddos had a dentist today. As you can see by the below pictures it went pretty smoothly until..........Gwen had to have 2 teeth pulled. I always tell her that she only gets teeth, she doesn't lose them. She had all her teeth before age 1 (started at 4 months). Well her bottom adult teeth came in behind her baby teeth so she had "shark teeth". After 2 months, the baby teeth still weren't loose, so they had to be pulled. It was not an easy process. I felt so bad for her as she was so scared and I know it had to have hurt as the baby teeth had long roots.
During the procedure she had to have laughing gas. At one point she goes "I feel funny". You could just see the stiffness and fear slide away with each breath.
She was very brave and the tooth fairy brought her two $5 bills. She may not be so generous next time. That's not even counting the $70 Lego set that she suckered her grandparents into buying!!!
