The number of teeth Kyan has lost since I posted about his first loose tooth, way back in November! I really can't believe the mouth that I see today or that he has lost that many teeth since then!? Two have been on his own, while three have been pulled by the dentist. He has had to have some pretty extensive dental work done lately (in the past month really), including getting two teeth pulled yesterday to make room in his small mouth for that front one to grown in (crooked). The dentist is letting nature take its course with it, but wanted there to be room for it either way (crooked, which is how it is going to come in, or straight). He has already told us that with the very little room that is in Kyan's mouth, braces WILL be in his future!
Kyan has been a trooper at the dentist and breathes in the fruit punch to help him relax while watching a movie on the ceiling, most times not noticing a thing! One more visit to go buddy before we are on regular check ups for awhile!
Now it is bed time, off to brush...

To think one day your waiting anxiously for their first tooth to come in then the next thing you know its time for braces GEEEEEEEEEZ! Where does the time go!!
Kyan is such a good boy! I hate the dentist, so i'm happy when kids get started young with all this. It will be better for him in the long run. And of course for mommy and daddy too LOL.
I can't tell you how glad I was to read the last paragraph of your post! I had a horrid experience at the dentist at age 4 (he capped a baby tooth-no novacaine-even hit me!)--and have been terrified since. As you can imagine, the work I need done is astronomical. I was 40ish before I found a dentist who had "anxiety level" on her intake form. I put off the chart! She asked why-and then I told her--sh told me it didn't have to be that way & she gave me an rx for a pill to take before I go--I can communicate...but don't care what they are doing and often don't remember a whole lot! Wish...my mother had taken a more proactive approach but at least I have some help now! Prayers that it all continues to go well for Kyan! Blessings, Sharon
It's good you brought him to the dentist young! I didn't have my braces 'til high school, and I pretty much BEGGED the dentist to take them OFF every time I visited. Finally, he agreed right before my Junior school pictures!
Can't wait to see this handsome boy soon!...
