This Is The Third Time

This one was a bit crazy. Will’s top-right tooth was hanging on on one side only, so it was actually slightly crooked in his mouth (tilting toward the other front tooth). I kind of wish I had taken a before picture. The tooth moved front-and-back a whole lot in his mouth, but it was hanging on just enough. It took a wet paper towel to get enough of a grip on it to remove it from his mouth.

And voila — a nice big gap in his mouth. Of course, it felt funny at first to him. So in went an ice pack and a little Tylenol, but within about an hour, no more comments about how funny it felt. I think he’s back to normal.

Now we’re just waiting to see if the tooth fairy shows up tonight.
