Yesterday, Le had her first tooth extraction. She had a new tooth grown behind her existing row of teeth. Last weekend, she started complaining about headache and toothache. When I checked, I found this new tooth that was never there.
Bunn brought her to the dentist yesterday and an extraction was needed. It seems another one is coming out next to this new tooth, and another extraction may be needed. If these new teeth don't grow naturally outwards to be with the current teeth, she would need braces.
She was braver than we thought. No crying. Bunn had to wait outside during the extraction, so we got her to describe the process. First the dentist used a round round sweet to rub, then injection and then with the pincer, pulled out the tooth. I will take a photo of the tooth when our camera is back.

New tooth growing behind milk tooth seems to be a common problem. Mark extracted a couple too. If it can wait, the school dental nurse can do it too... best of all, it is FREE.
Trust me, the tooth may look congested now, but as her jaw grows, they will align.
