McKenzie lost another tooth!

McKenzie is on a roll with her teeth!! She has now lost 5! She had this tooth that we called the tulip tooth, what it actually was, was two teeth fused together. It does not happen often but it does happen. Well her "Big Girl" tooth came in a LONG time ago and I have been worried to death about it because her permanent tooth was all the way out and she still had this baby tooth in front of it. Every one said its ok do not worry about it. But as a mom i could not help worrying about it. So last week I noticed that the tooth was bleeding. To me, it looked like the tooth was filling up with blood. So I told her we needed to get that tooth out as soon as we can. Well last night (1-19-09) she told my mom, "Nana, I think it is time to get this tooth out" So my mom looked at it and went to wiggle it and it just fell out in my mom's hand. There was one little mishap with the tooth. There is a little root that did not come out. So we are keeping an eye on it for a few days and if it does not come out on its own I will make an appointment with a dentist and let them take a look at it and see what they think. I probably will not take her to the one I have been taking her to because I am really not too happy with him. He seems to be scared of her and does not really look at her because she cries and it seems to make him nervous so I am thinking about taking her to a different dentist. I do hope the piece comes out on its own because she hates the dentist so bad I hate to get her upset about having to go. Here is a picture of her smiling big!!
Until next time!
