Paul had such a big day today! In order to make room for those permanent teeth trying to come in, we had to have the dentist pull out 4 (that's right, count them FOUR) of Pauls bottom teeth! Paul did AWESOME!!! He was as brave as could be, walked right on back to the chair and told me I could stay in the waiting room. The dentist told me that Paul was happy and pleasant and talked the whole time. (He loves going to the dentist... His dentist is super nice and has the same name as him so he thinks that rocks.) Anyway, he went through it with flying colors. The only problem we've had is the numbing stuff~ his bottom lip is all floppy and he bit it once. Here are some "Before" and "After" pictures.
As you can see, he already has one permanent tooth coming in. And the ones they pulled were LONG! 2 of them measured at about 3/4 of an inch!
It's funny. He was a little worried (after having it all done) that someone would think he looked ugly. I told him it looks awesome with all those teeth gone, and he kind of rolled his eyes and was like, "No mom, not the teeth! What if they think my LIP is ugly?" (Because it was all numb. DUH, mom) LOL. Funny kid.
