One thing most people notice right away about Emersyn is she is pretty tiny. She is the shortest in her class, which she thinks is pretty neat. But being small is having one disadvantage for her, her mouth is also too small. I'm not sure how long it's been but she had 4 teeth fall out but new teeth never grew back. There hasn't been space for them to do so, and the last time at the dentist, they noticed also. After an orthodontic appointment it was decided that she needed to have 4 teeth pulled to make room. We tried about a month ago at our dentist office, but she wasn't having it. I totally underestimated how much pull you need to take teeth out. They're baby teeth so for some reason I thought it would be "easy". We decided to go to a different office where they could sedate her. Last week was her appointment to get it done. She was sedated and while they were taking them out, they noticed another tooth had an abscess on it and would need to be taken out anyways. So in total she had 5 teeth pulled! She was a trooper and spent most of the day just relaxing and eating only soft foods.
Look at the size of the teeth! We were surprised by that. Emery cleaned up from the tooth fairy (she may have felt bad once she saw the size and amount of teeth she lost). Now her mouth can fill up with teeth again.
