Trinity had this snaggle tooth that had been hanging out for some time. She was really not a fan of having it pulled or pulling it herself but she really wanted that thing out. We tried all kinds of things to help it out. Ice, numbing stuff, wiggling, but NOTHING would get that little thing to come out. Finally, the big girl tooth started to come in behind it and I told her that if we didn't pull it, we would have to go to the dentist to have it pulled...not that going to the dentist was a bad thing, but, it just meant that we would further delay her Tooth Fairy visit. So, she said I could pull it out. I was stunned. She normally does not like anyone messing with her mouth. With a "1, 2, YANK, 3!" it was out. Just.Like.That. She was a trooper, no tears, no fussing, and she smiled at me with a mouth full of blood. I was really hoping that she didn't look at herself in the mirror, because that would scare any 7 year old. Luckily, she just raced out to show Daddy.
The Tooth Fairy left her a tiny note a 2 silver dollars in her tooth box covered with "fairy dust". She was so excited and proud of herself. Good job Trinity, you are well on your way to a mouthfull of bumpy teeth!
