Tooth Update

Rachel's mouth has gotten better and better since she knocked out her tooth. She is able to eat just about anything now and it really doesn't give her any trouble. The missing tooth is hardly noticeable and a cute little look for her. The only thing we were concerned about was the discoloration in her two front teeth. They've turned a gray color and we weren't sure if this was a bad thing or not. So, we were lucky enough to get to see Matt yesterday. He offered to check her teeth for us and fit us into his busy schedule. They took an x-ray of her mouth and then we talked with Matt. The x-ray scared Rachel a little bit, since she had to go in the room alone and bite down on a "cracker" that was really an x-ray film. This kind of freaked her out and she was upset when we got to the room to talk to Matt. He was so kind and gentle and just touched her front teeth and looked at her x-ray. He really said there was nothing to worry about. Her teeth are discolored because of the hemmoraging from the trauma. He didn't think they looked that bad anyway. He said the front two teeth were probably loose initially, but they had tightened up as her mouth healed. They usually come out at 7, and there's a possibility that she could lose them earlier, but maybe not. I was very relieved to hear that everything had healed great and her teeth were going to be fine. I really appreciated Matt working us in and relieving our worries! We're so thankful that the whole mouth injury turned out as well as it could have!
