Ortho wants teeth extractions

See, now you're making me nervous. The receptionist at the dentist's office made it sound like those baby teeth pop right out, no problem. And they didn't mention novocaine or valium, just gas. Maybe it depends which tooth it is. I have to look in his mouth again. I know it's on the bottom. I think if you start at the middle teeth, it's the second one over on each side.

My son had nitrous oxide for eight or ten extractions when he was in 4th grade. His mouth was a horror show on at least 3 different fronts, so it just had to be done... his mouth was so crowded we'd had no idea he'd even lost teeth, but apparently he had & he swallowed them while sleeping

Anyhow, it went very well, we went to an oral surgeon for the work, and they would have broken the appointment up had DS not been able to tolerate the work at the time. Two or Four of those teeth were adult teeth I believe. This was 4 years ago and he JUST got his braces off 3 months ago. He now has a perfect smile and will wear a retainer for just about ever!
