Dillon's Pulled Tooth

Kayda had to have her front top teeth removed by the dentist due to an abscess and now Dillon had to have one front tooth removed.  This tooth was knocked into the bathtub faucet long ago.  It's been a little brownish but seemed to be okay for the most part.  Well, we went to the dentist a few weeks ago, they took xrays and discovered a few things: 1) the root of that tooth looked "sickly" as the dentist put it, 2) An abscess was forming around the root of the luck tooth and 3) it was keeping the permanent tooth from descending (it was stuck up about the root and growing into the root of the upper right lateral incisor).  The verdict... it needed to be pulled.  So today Grandma H came and played with Carson so I could take the big kids up to the dentist.  They gave him some Nitrus while he watched a movie and it came out with absolutely no issue.  There was no dramatic tugging (I was relieved because as Kayda tells it they had quite a hard time pulling one of her front teeth).  The most unpleasant time was actually how long he had to bite on the gauze.  

 He wasn't feeling very smiley as you can tell.  A combination of pain and the Nitrus wearing off.

 Notice that the root is all twisted and bumpy and weird (not that I've seen many tooth roots!).  You can also see the brownish tint more prominently in the root.  Hopefully this trend won't continue for Carson!
