Time to find a dentist?


Daniel is six and a half. He still hasn't lost any baby teeth. That's a little tricky since his adult teeth are coming in. It's been over 2 months since I first noticed a sneaky tooth lurking in the background. Now it seems nearly fully erupted and it's twin is making an appearance. He's starting to look like a shark with rows of teeth! There is a dentist in the ward that I've questioned a few times. He said they would probably all take care of themselves. The tongue will push the adult tooth (now teeth) into place after the baby teeth fall out. He said I could push the loose tooth towards his lip to help get it out. Daniel doesn't really like that. (surprise, surprise) So of four teeth that are in the way, two are loose, one more than the other. The dentist did say that as long as the back teeth don't get higher than the front ones, I shouldn't worry too much. Well, I guess it's time to start worrying, or at least find a dentist!
