I was tickling Brenna one day a few weeks ago when I noticed something strange. I made her let me look closer and my concerns were confirmed. She had a permanant tooth on the bottom, maybe 1/3 of the way in. The problem was, she hasn't lost any baby teeth yet. Her teeth weren't even loose. Taylie said she might be like a shark: she'll just grow a whole new row of teeth behind the old ones. And maybe she will. But a good thing for a shark might not be a good thing for a Brenna.
I took Brenna to the dentist and sure enough, the baby tooth in that spot had to be removed. Our poor girl was a bit traumatized by the numbing shot, and she did not like the numb feeling at all, but she was so brave! The tooth fairy forgot to visit that night, but the next night she managed to make it. The dentist said that she may have to have other baby teeth removed as well, but I hope not. Losing them naturally costs a lot less!
