Nicole and her tooth trauma !!!



As Nicole was in the process of getting her braces we discovered that she still
had a baby tooth. So off to an oral surgeon to discover that there was an extra
tooth blocking the adult tooth from coming down. So last Tuesday we schedule her
first oral surgery.  With lots of nerves and worries, she was a trooper
thru the iv, thru the recovery room and through the pain when we got home.
It turns out they removed the baby tooth, which a hole and then they had to
cut a hole in the roof of her mouth and then attched a bracket and a 14 kt. gold chain from
that tooth hidden in the roof of hre mouth.  It's now been a week and stitches have been
removed, however my little daughter still has a hole in the roof of her mouth and we wait
... wait ... wait for that chain to pull her tooth down in to place ...
I'm so proud of you Nicole, this has not been easy and you have handled it like a mature young women.
