Toothless

Like her big sister CC, Sweet Pea had to have four adult teeth pulled because of massive overcrowding in her mouth. Sweet Pea's overcrowding is even worse than CC's was; there's just literally no room for all her teeth. So last week we bit the bullet and got it done.

She took it like a champ. I was so surprised how calmly she came to the appointment and followed all the dentist's instructions, despite her fear. She was so nervous! But everything went well and pretty quickly; we were done in less than an hour.

Later that day, her last remaining baby molar came very loose and is now hanging by a thread. We believe it was being held in place by one of the adult teeth that was extracted, and now it's hanging down into her mouth and causing a lot of problems with eating and talking. It's been over a week now, and it's still there. I can't wait for it to be gone!

She's just at the beginning of her orthodontic journey; she has a long way to go. But in the next few years, this girl's mouth will be completely transformed!
