Well, it has been an interesting couple of weeks. Matthew came home from preschool missing the crown on his front tooth. He felt it fall out and put it in his pocket. Of course this was just as the fall break was starting so his regular dentist was out of town, so another cemented it back in for us. Well the next day Matt was complaining of a bad headache and crying quite a bit - at least until the Advil kicked in. Then the next day his lip was all swollen and his nose was even looking weird, the headache was still there and there was a blister above the tooth that had been cemented back in. By this time it's Saturday and there are NO dentists to be found. We ended up at Urgent Dental Care and he had to have both of his front teeth pulled out due to infection! Even if we treated the infection they were afraid the infection would come back and start damaging his permanent teeth. So out they came! He will be toothless for about a year and half, but hey you can't ruin a face like his!
All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!
Toothless Matt!
After preschool in his spider hat - he wouldn't
show me his teeth for the picture!
It was like pulling teeth to get this picture! he he he
Finally got the shot - Just a stump of a tooth under the crown!

Poor thing! Your kids and those teeth. I am glad he is feeling better. He will be an expert at talking and eating without those front teeth by the time the permanent ones grow in.
