Orthodontist

Yep, Jack has already been referred to the Orthodontist. He has some major crowding which is a bad deal. Doesn't leave room for his adult teeth to come in. The DR has already thrown around the word "extraction". Yikes. Niether my husband or I are very surprised we both have had several teeth pulled. I've had eight in total---4 adult and 4 wisdom teeth. Genetics, what a bitch.

We were told on Tuesday that orthodontist visits are in Boo's future...darn genetics. She doesn't have crowding yet...but there is little room for growth. Her teeth are so tight together that not even the dentist can get floss between a couple of them. Such fun.

ditto four grownup teeth removed and four wisdom, but get this i had FIVE wisdom teeth and now it's breaking through so now years later I have to go through that removal all over again. grr. Poor Jack, in the end it's all worth it. I have nice straight teeth and my poor finance might need braces in his 30s, yikes.
