Shecklet #4 has had a toothache off and on since having one of her molars filled a few months ago. Today it was so painful we had an emergency trip to the dentist and then on to the oral surgeon to have it pulled. It had abscessed, which was disappointing to hear. The experience was not pleasant and I think we were both traumatized by it, but I’m glad she’s no longer feeling pain when she chews.
This kid is so full of creativity, spunk, and laughter. She lost her tooth while on a field trip today. The parent chaperone gave her a baggie from her lunch to put it in so it didn’t get lost. She was one proud little girl when she got off the bus this afternoon.
While I’m talking about her, this was a recent art project #4 was able to being home. (Splat the Cat from the book series.)
Shecklet #4 has had two loose bottom teeth for a few weeks. I noticed that one was barely hanging on and figured she’d likely lose it at school tomorrow. Well while I helped her brush her teeth tonight, out it came 😳. The sight of blood was a bit alarming for her, but we quickly got things under control and she understood what had (accidentally) happened. I’m just glad I didn’t turn on the faucet before I found the tooth in the sink!
Shecklet #1 came downstairs this morning and said he had a loose tooth. I asked to take a peek and as I gently wiggled the molar, it fell out!
Shecklet #2 pulled another tooth. This time, he decided to pull it before math class. The best part is that he got to bring the tooth home in a little treasure chest.
Shecklet #2 lost his two front teeth in a matter of days. The first fell out while on an overnight camping trip with his Aunt Larissa and a couple of cousins.
And the second fell out while eating dinner. He took a bite of his vegetables and realized that something WASN’T a veggie! He spit out a tooth!
Our oldest Shecklet has had his top right tooth dangling from it’s spot for what seems like forever. Today we were out in the driveway and I finally convinced him that he needed to pop it out or else I was going to give in to the temptation to do it myself. Anyway, after a little hesitation on his part, he went inside and five minutes later he returned with the tooth in his hand!
