She Just Pulled Her Tooth Out
I don't like going to the dentist. I don't like the injection and how they examine my mouth. I ran away from the dentist's chair once, as soon as I saw the needle in his hand. No matter how painful I am feeling, I avoided the dentist when I was young.
That's me but not my Tia.
She likes going to the dentist and lol and I think she is one, herself.
The other day she said her tooth is moving. And we told her not to touch it. But that night while I and Mum are reading the paper on the table she just sits and grabs a kitchen roll. And right in front of us without any warning whatsoever, she pulled her tooth out and say,
"Yey, it's out!"
She had a big smile on her face while it was bleeding (not too much). She just wipe it out and lol face us and ask,
"Am I beautiful?"
Take a picture of me and my teeth!
Who amongst you can smile after your tooth gets pulled out?
She's the only one I know. And quite proud that she did it herself. No trace of pain. Just pure happiness.
After that, she lost her tooth. And I found it first so the tooth fairy can do her job.
There's nothing wrong with her tooth it's just a milk tooth and maybe the permanent one is already ready to come out just like the last one recently.
You see this one she just pulled out herself as well.
But I was at work and she tried to wash it in the sink according to her but the water wash it away. So she lost her tooth. The tooth fairy took a day or two to find the tooth and gave her something in return under the pillow.
And I was emptying the hoover when I saw a blue stone Well, I thought it was a stone lol. Then found out that's her missing tooth!
She lied that she lost the tooth and she painted the tooth at night when I'm in bed. And nobody can see what her doing and she forgot about it and lost it. Luckily I lost my earring and check the hoover but instead of an earring, I found her missing tooth.
You see that's the 17th of April when her tooth come off and it started to grow by the 11th of May.
And as you can see in her first photo it's already up and that's her first permanent teeth. The first 4 that the dentist pulled haven't grown yet so I suggest just leaving their teeth alone. That's milk teeth/baby teeth, it will loosen and fall out in their time to make room for the permanent teeth. Normally at the age of 6.
Story Time
When Tia was 3 years old we were told that they have to take 6 of her teeth out. And I was shocked to hear such. I didn't even know you can pull 6 at a time. There's one that turns bad but it wasn't that bad when I first take it to the dentist, they didn't do anything about it till later on and all of a sudden they want to pull 6 at the same time. The thing is they want to pull the two front teeth at the top. And I didn't let them because there's nothing wrong with it except for the hole in the middle.
They sedate her by placing a mask over her nose and mouth and she would then breathe in the nitrous oxide until she fell to sleep and then extract her tooth.
But if I can only go back to that time I will only let them pull that one bad one, and leave the rest and just let it fall on its time.
The upper front teeth she just lost last year. It just loose and she pulled it out herself again. And the other tooth is still there and they want to pull it 3 years ago.
Lol yes, that's 3 teeth she pulled herself. She is a dentist herself.
7 teeth out so far!
Do you keep your kid's baby teeth?
I have this Tia's teeth box.
The dentist told me to keep it as we never know if we need it. Baby teeth are a rich source of stem cells that can be grown into multiple kinds of cells if needed. It means storing it can save lives and treat diseases if in later life your child needs replacement tissue for whatever reason. Imagine, that the stem cells from their baby teeth can be used to grow the needed tissue! Amazing, isn't it?
Did you know that?
Are you brave enough like Tia?
Thank you for reading.
You are beautiful in every way, tia. always be happy. and you are very brave. because I'm not that brave, I'm afraid of the dentist. May the fairy of happiness always be with you, Tia
