Looth Tooth

Bria has her first loose tooth. 

It started out a few weeks ago when she mentioned that her bottom front tooth area was sore.  She mentioned it for several days in a row, and when David checked it he could tell it was slightly loose.  We told Bria to wiggle it everyday.  She thought it hurt to much to wiggle it, so she hasn’t been.  About a week after she first mentioned the pain she said that it felt like there was a hole in her gums.  I took a look, and sure enough, her permanent tooth was coming in behind her baby tooth. 

We weren’t really sure what we needed to do or if we needed take her to the dentist.  Luckily, one of Bria’s cousins had this same situation at Thanksgiving.  David talked to his sister to see what they did.  She told us that the baby tooth fell out within a couple of days and the permanent tooth moved forward into the correct position.  We were relieved. 

We haven’t bothered to much with Bria’s tooth, until this last weekend when she again said it was bothering her.  We reminded her that she just needed to keep wiggling the baby tooth.  The baby tooth is much looser now, but it just doesn’t want to fall out.  She is so excited to loose it, and really wants to loose it while she is at school because they get a special necklace.  Hopefully, she will lose it in the next couple of days.
