Most Current Drama
So, about 3 weeks ago I was brushing Payton's teeth and noticed a new tooth had broke through and was coming in right behind her baby teeth. It's neighbor was not far behind. So naturally I started freaking out. I called the dentist who said this happens all the time. To who? This is the first case of human shark teeth that I have come into contact with. They told me since she wasn't in any pain we could come in the next week. Her baby teeth were not even close to being loose and so at that appointment we scheduled another appointment to have them taken out. I had given her the pre-med just in case they did it that day so she was ready. She was not happy to have to wait 3 more weeks to get the cold hard cash for the teeth. Monday was finally the day of the procedure. She did so well, her dentist uses nitrous and has a moving playing on the ceiling so Payton didn't have a care in the world. She's been on soft foods, which is so much fun because she's a picky eater anyway but bananas and pancakes it is!



Here is the moment she had been waiting for. She received $1 per tooth and a note from the tooth fairy telling her, "Congratulations Payton! You were so brave at the dentist. Love, The Tooth Fairy." The fact that the tooth fairy knew her name blew her away. Payton wanted to know how the tooth fairy knew she had been to the dentist. I told her that the tooth fairy knows all when it comes to the happenings of the dental world. That satisfied her and since she can read now will expand no further about the tooth fairy.

Congrats for being so brave, Payton!

Erin, Tanner had the same situation in his mouth. His adult teeth were in before the baby ones came out. They were the bottom teeth too! It does freak you out doesn't it? I guess it is more common than we know!

Taylor was our shark, but hey, several pulled teeth later, bucket of dough on braces, and he has one heck of a smile. The girls don't stand a chance. Now Payton will always have a great story to tell and will always be able to one up her friends and kids. Sometimes pain does pay.
