...is my two front teeth!!
Landan just had some major dental surgery done. He had a lot of work to be done so we did it under general anesthesia so that it could all be done at once. He had a bunch of cavities filled. He had a molar that was infected so it had to be removed. Then the one next to it also had an infection but it was smaller so they just did a root canal but they ended up just having to fill it, not put a crown on it. Then they had to pull his two front teeth. His adult teeth should have come in by now but they haven't even budged. I guess there is an extra point on the backs of his adult teeth so it's making it hard for them to come in. So they pulled the baby teeth in the hopes that that will encourage the adult teeth to come down. If they don't, he may need orthodontia to help them come in. So for now he's a bit toothless. So since they pulled a baby molar, he is going to need a spacer in his mouth to keep the opening for when his adult molar comes in when he's around twelve. So we have to back in two weeks to get that done. In the meantime, he just looks really cute with his two front teeth missing.
