Loose Tooth!
Posted By pamelamyers on October 13, 2015
Last night, Sam was being a bit difficult at bedtime. She just wasn’t listening to me. Goofing around, playing games. I got frustrated in the bathroom, so I told Sam to brush her own teeth and I went into my room. I never let her brush her own teeth because I doubt she’ll do a good enough job at this age, but last night, I just didn’t care. Sam did brush her own teeth then came in my room and asked me to check to see if she did it right. While I was checking, I noticed something white in her gums behind her bottom teeth. I thought it was just food or something, but it was the beginnings of an adult tooth! I checked and noticed that she had a loose tooth! I called to Mark to come see and he said that both teeth were loose! They certainly were. It’s going to be Tooth Fairy time soon! Sam is so happy. She feels like all her friends have had a Tooth Fairy visit but her. Well, that will change soon enough.
I did think it a little odd that I could see the adult tooth coming up in the back behind her baby teeth. Aren’t they supposed to push the baby teeth out? Of course, I did some Googling and found it is not that uncommon. It is called “shark teeth”. Eventually, the adult teeth will move forward into place. I certainly hope so. It’s way back and very crooked.
As a side note, one of those 6 year molars is finally peeking through on the bottom right. Those buggers have been giving her pain for a while, so that was a welcome sight!

Some of my sister’s adult teeth came through before she lost the baby teeth.
