I had been worried about the lack of loose teeth Braedon had. He teethed really early and got his first 2 teeth at 3 months old so I had been told and assumed he would start losing teeth early. At his 5 year well check, his pediatrician had mentioned that it was a possibility so I was on the look out...then his 6 year well check came and still no signs of loose teeth. A couple kids in his class lost teeth and he's one of the older one's along with Megan-his "girlfriend"..and still no loose teeth!
I had Christina take a look at his teeth because some of his teeth started looking really grey and of course, I was being a paranoid mom with this whole losing teeth. He definitely grinds his teeth which I used to do but she couldn't feel anything loose. The next morning, literally, when I was brushing/flossing his teeth, he told me his teeth hurt. My first though "Great! Cavaty.." NOPE. His front 2 teeth were loose...barely but still loose. I was so excited!
He had a dentist appointment last week. I was a bad mommy and hadn't taken him in almost 2 years. They took x-rays and were very impressed with how clean and cavity free his teeth were. The x-ray also showed a handful of teeth that had lost their roots completely and "would be coming out very soon". He had 2 of his 6yr molars in and the other 2 were poking through. Long story short, 2 days after his dentist appointment, brushing his teeth again, he told me his bottom tooth hurt. I was expecting it this time because the dentist had said he was surprised they weren't loose yet and bet the bottoms would come out before the tops. This tooth was VERY LOOSE. He can no longer eat with it, it's really starting to pull forward and the teeth around it are turning out to make room for the big tooth. As of tonight, it seems to only be hanging on by a thread..the TOOTH FAIRY better get ready!!
Awww...that tooth is on it's way out soon. Yay!!!! The tooth fairly better be stocking up on the $$$ in preparation.
