SE's new front teeth have appeared, but the old ones are still around. They have been shaky for many months without any signs they will be dropping off any time soon. There is one more milk tooth at the bottom which has been around even longer. It's unfortunate this is happening for SE as she is extremely scaredy-cat about going to the dentist. Last year it took 3 visits before her shaky milk teeth were successfully removed. No doubt it would be a struggle again the next time.
Two old teeth in front, two new teeth behind
I had been telling her for weeks that we need to make an appointment with the dentist, hoping that would spur her to wriggle the teeth herself. No luck so far.
So coming weekend is planned to be D-day. Can't wait already as the new teeth may not grow into place well with the old ones still in the way.
Definitely must go to the dentist to get those old ones out as they are preventing the new ones from being in the correct place. Very likely SE may need braces to pull the new ones into place next time. All the best for this weekend! Be brave SE! 💪💪💪 You can do it!
ReplyDeleteYeah the front teeth are very important! Cosmetically is one thing and also she couldn't use her front teeth to bite as the shaky ones were sensitive.
DeleteSE has very strong and healthy milk teeth. Most kids have milk teeth that would easily come off by themselves or with a slight tug. All the best for the weekend visit to the dentist. Hope she will cooperate with the dentist without any struggle.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is her new teeth always comes out behind the milk teeth. So the milk teeth don't get much pressure and happily co-exist.
