3 Pulled Teeth...

So Rebecca had to have 3 teeth pulled today because her adult teeth are growing in behind her baby teeth. At least her 2 bottom ones were. She had to have the top one pulled too (you know the yucky yellow one) because it was starting to get an infection. Apparently if the teeth get loose and don't come out, food can get down deep in the gums and cause infection. Sounds right...but never even thought about it. These teeth have been loose for while now..months.
She was very excited to get them pulled so the Tooth Fairy would come. Not scared at all. Said the shot(s) didn't hurt and it "Was COOL!". She's like me...LOVES the dentist. Here are some before and after photos....


Before leaving the house...one last shot of a full mouth of Baby Teeth.

Second row of Adult teeth coming in.

So proud of herself

Swollen lips from the shots

What a pretty little smile!
She's gonna be a rich little girl tomorrow. I see a shopping trip in our future.
