Many of you have probably noticed Wyatt's front tooth was badly chipped. When he was about 19 months he fell off the top of a slide at the gym and chipped it. At the time it was pretty bad but the dentist thought he was too little to do anything, they needed to wait on his 2 year molars to come in to have anywhere to attach a pedi partial. Gradually the tooth died. I had gotten used to his snaggle tooth as we called it but more and more of it started to chip away. We recently decided to go ahead and spend the RIDICULOUS amount of cash (no insurance for this one!) to get him the pedi partial. Today he had the rest of the tooth pulled and they took impressions for the RIDICULOUSLY priced pedi partial. In 6-8 weeks (probably while we are in China) his new little tooth will come in and TADA he will have a normal smile again. Even though I had gotten used to his snaggle tooth grin I am excited to see what he will look like with 2 front teeth while still a "baby".
