4 teeth gone and counting....


After a visit to the dentist on the 15th, the dentist decided that Clarissa needed to make way for her "big" teeth.  Her 2 bottom ones were trying to push through, but 3 other baby teeth were in the way.  The 2 were coming in very crooked, so the dentist is hoping that by getting the others out of the way, the 2 will come in straighter.  So how do we get rid of the 3 bad teeth?  Pull them, of course!!  Clarissa didn't seem upset by it, but Mom sure was!  We made the appointment as soon as possible and so on the 22nd, Clarissa had 3 teeth pulled.  Mom could not be there because she was already committed to subbing, but Dad took great care of her.  All Clarissa remembers is the dentist putting on the mask for the "happy" gas and feeling a little dizzy.  She has no idea how they numbed her mouth, and we are going to keep it that way!
