tooth fairy working overtime





Both of my boys have lost teeth this week. Micah worked for about 5 hours on Thursday wiggling that tooth all the way through Sam's, Walmart, Michaels, Lowe's, and Target! He got it to where it was just barely dangling there before he went to bed. I was so afraid he would swallow it during his sleep! YIKES! However, he woke up and it just about fell out all by itself. Brian, on the other hand, was certainly NOT TRYING to loose a tooth. While eating a pear ~ yes, a pear~ he accidentally cracked a molar. The dentist informed him "a million dollars couldn't save this tooth." Apparently there was a terrible abscess under the tooth that had not given him any pain but had been eating away at the bone for some time. As you may be aware, it's not quite as exciting to lose a tooth when you are 36 years old as it is when you are 7. You also need to know that Brian has GREAT teeth! He has only ever had 1 cavity and that was when he was a little boy. The plan of action is an extraction, bone graph, implant, and crown. Brian says his bank book hurts a lot worse than that tooth. Micah thinks Daddy's tooth looks like a dinosaur tooth. I love my snaggle tooth boys!
