Brody loses a tooth!




Brody has lost his first tooth but I had nothing to do with it!! I didn't have to pull anything nor did Joe, he did it all on his own. We were walking to school and he tripped and went face first onto the sidewalk. Of course, there were tears and blood but when I looked in his mouth I saw that his front tooth was pushed back. Off to dental we went! They took an x-ray and saw that the tooth had been fractured at the gum line so they decided to pull it out. He didn't even move when they gave him a lidocane shot. He was so still. They pulled the tooth and said that the adult tooth will come down in about 1.5-2 years. There was no other damage to other teeth so he was lucky. The dentist said that the bruising would hurt more than the tooth being pulled. The only thing Brody was concerned about was if he would be able to go on his field trip tomorrow and if he could play soccer on Saturday (he has his priorities!)
