8/6/07...all teeth present & accounted for before the "incident". Madi smiling for her close-up at swimming lessons.
Well yesterday, 8/6/07, Madi lost her first tooth. Actually the tooth was pulled because she fractured it. She was playing around with Papa Joe, hit her tooth on his wrist band, and knocked her tooth back a little. As soon as I looked at it I knew all was not well.
I called the dentist and they said they would stay open until I got there. We went in and they took x-rays and you could tell right away that it was no longer attached to the root. After speaking with the dentist about the options we decided the best thing would be to pull it. This way we didn't have to worry about it getting infected. So, they gased her up, put some sunglasses on her, loaded up Dora the Explorer and she was good to go. I told her that she could tell everyone that she lost her first tooth and she got excited. She did so great!!! In fact, as we were walking out she said, "That didn't even hurt!". About 10 mins later she came down from her laughing gas "high" and was not happy, AT ALL. She ate a little and after her first bite she said, "I wish I didn't lose my toof". We weren't prepared for her to start losing teeth yet, so we had to hurry and explain the Tooth Fairy.
It has been kind of tramatic, she didn't eat until this evening. After 24 hours of losing her tooth we finally had our happy Madison back and she let me take some pictures of her. She looks quite cute, but we still haven't got used to the "new" look.
