You know that loose tooth of Tahlor's that I mentioned in my previous post? It is out today. It just so happened that Tahlor and I had our semi-annual teeth cleaning scheduled. While we were there I asked our dentist to take a look at it and take it out if it was ready. Sure enough, it was ready! And the one right next to it too! Two teeth in one day...way to take the plunge Tahlor. John and I worked a few times to try to get it out but since it was Tahlor's first she did not know what to expect and that made it a bit challenging. Nothing like having the dentist take a crack at it. We even got to see the x-rays of Tahlor's mouth and it was very interesting to see the baby and adult teeth. Wow - the adult teeth are at least twice the size of the babies!
Afterwards, Tahlor remarked that getting them out was no big deal. She did not even cry when it happened. Truth be known, once she heard the word 'blood' after the teeth were already out, it sent her into tears. They put some gauze at the site to help the little bleeding cease sooner. I am hoping with this first experience out of the way the next ones to come will be much easier for John, Tahlor and I to manage on our own.
The four of us piled into the car and headed to DQ for icecream treats in celebration of the occasion.
For now, Tahlor is looking forward to a visit from the Tooth Fairy.
