Teeth

Why can’t all the baby teeth just quietly fall out of their mouths when they are sleeping? Would be so much easier. We have 2 losing their teeth at the moment..Who’s stupid idea was it to give them money? I am having trouble keeping up with who lost what when, someone should sack that tooth fairy, she actually forgot to come to both children one night *blush*

Emily has had this one tooth lose for well over a month, probably closer to 2. At this point it is no longer held in by any gum what so ever. So how is it still in there you ask…that’s what I would like to know!

Driving along 3 weeks ago we told her we would give her $5 if she would pull it out just to have it over with. She sat pulling and wiggling for about 5mins till hurray! she had pulled it out. Only to discover on closer inspection… she had pulled out the wrong one, it was one we didn’t even know was lose! No $5 for you.

I picked her up from school yesterday and she excitedly shoved a wad of tissue in my face saying she had finally got it out, she had been wiggling it all day with her tongue and it just fell out. Hurray..about bloody time..she was so proud. So I take a look, to see if there was anything left of what has actually been holding it in to discover…it was still there! She again, had taken the wrong one out, one we didn’t even know was lose.

This is one stubborn, we have all tried pulling on it but it’s all a bit eww for me and don’t like to pull too hard. One would think it can’t stay in there much longer. Am I really going to have to pay $100 for the dentist remove it?

We have upped the bounty for this rouge tooth..surely it can’t hold out much longer??

Taking part, all be it very late, but it wouldn’t be me if I was on time even to my own carnival…the All Women blogging carnival this week at 4fabmoms The girls have done a great job this week and have put on a fabulous carnival..thanks girls :)

    Has Emily tried twisting the tooth that doesnt want to leave her mouth ? Natasha had a stubborn one once & she twisted instead of wiggling & out it came :)

    Just yank it. I did it once when I was little and had a stubborn tooth. It didn’t hurt at all, it was kind of just a little pop feeling. It was actually really satisfying. Probably because it had been a nuisance for so long

    I always give ‘toys’ of some sort–no money. That way, nobody can compare notes and remind me how I gave more last time ;)

    They can pull out un-loose teeth just for the cash! Watch out- she is a future entrepreneur- soon she will be selling organs! LOL!
