Happy to let all know that L's milk teeth have starting falling. She got her first tooth when she was one and so the delay in the fall of her teeth now.
Have to mention that she has inherited her Mama' s blood. The tooth hardly shakes and the new tooth appears. Due to this I was blessed with an Irregular set of Dentition which started projecting out by the time I was 14. And so I had teeth appearing from all places, behind, in front of, sideways etc except from the correct gap of a tooth. I had no other go but wear Braces by the time I finished 10th. It was awful, as I had to wear it for 2 yrs thanx to the technology then. But then My fear of every visit to the dentist still remains. The injections, the extractions,the stitches, the wires, the rubberbands, the brushes etc were the baggage of goodies that came along with this decision. The tightening of the wires where the most painful as I always had a feeling that all my teeth would break in no time. I used to have nightmares of my teeth breaking too. But becoz of that decision I have a better smile now which was often praised by my dentist even then.
The dread is not over yet as I have to take care of 2 more dentition sets other than mine. I had to convince L that she shudn't have to wear braces like me and so I took her to the dentist, as soon as I saw that her milk tooth wasn't shaking well and the new one has already come out. As this was her first visit she wasn't certain what to feel. The doc put a gel, took an injection and extracted her first tooth. It was so long , as it had come along with the root and the doc herself was surprised to see so. L was in silent tears that day. the doc put a cotton in that gap to prevent the excess blood from spurting out but L wanted it out in no time. We took her shopping after that. It didn't pain mush for her later.
I asked the Doc about the probability about the next new tooth, with the old one hardly shaking, and she said it can happen the same way. Not less than a week , accordingly, to our fear and unwillful prediction, the second new tooth erupted. This time L was really reluctant, but I had to tell her about my experiences, that this could prevent Braces in future and she agreed. She was already in tears this time and was refusing to sit in peace while the injection was being taken but then it was done. This time the tooth wasn't that long and it came out fast.
We came home relieved for the time being, but the dread of the next tooth appearing is still remains. In the mean time, G has hallucinations of her tooth shaking.
