Today, Alexis had four of her baby teeth extracted. We are trying to make room for her permanent teeth to come in with more ease allowing them to come in straighter and to avoid over crowding. The dentist assured me that it wouldn't hurt and that Alexis would NOT be in pain. He was right! The only thing that hurt was the pain of the shot to numb her up. I had no idea that baby teeth have roots! I was shocked when the dentist handed me a small keepsake box that housed her teeth. I opened the box and was amazed at the size and lenght of the roots. Surely it had to hurt or cause some type of discomfort. It did NOT! I think mom was more nervous than Alexis and I was so glad for it all to be over with.
