Going, Going, Almost Gone!

That's normally what you hear at an auction, but in W's case it has to do with her teeth! From a distance you may not notice it, but she has been grinding her teeth so badly that her top two incisors are almost gone! I had to go back and look at some of her baby pictures to be sure, but she did have normal sized teeth for a toddler when we adopted her. To add to all of this, the dentist told us this past week that she has to have the top left tooth pulled in a few weeks since her permanent tooth is growing behind her baby tooth. This is causing two problems: #1 the top of her baby tooth is about to come through the top part of her gums, #2 her permanent tooth does not have the room it needs to come in correctly.

I can already tell Dr. Olson will be seeing a lot of us in the coming years!
