Dental update

The Princess woke up fine as can be. No indication that the flu bug has hit her, so we went to the dentist first thing this morning.

I explained to the assistant why we were there. That the dentist had asked me to bring my girl in once one of those top front teeth popped out. She then realized that she would need to take an x-ray so that the dentist could do a full exam.

It turns out that the tooth that has broken through my daughter's gums is her permanent adult tooth. That sneaky extra baby tooth has moved itself above her left front baby tooth!

So now we've been told that the Princess needs to work on that left front baby tooth since it is just slightly loose. That once that one comes that he'll do another evaluation. That hopefully the baby tooth will slide right into that empty space. If THAT happens then the dentist can easily extract the extra baby tooth. If the baby tooth does NOT move down into the empty space then we'll have a more evasive procedure to get through.

The kidlings are scheduled for their 6 month cleaning in April, so I mentioned that to the dentist. So by then the Princess' front left baby tooth should be GONE or should be barely hanging on. [crossing my fingers that it all works out according to plan]
