Mimi's baby teeth are not even close to be loose, and yesterday we noticed that a permanent lower middle teeth was coming in behind the baby teeth. As this is a new situation for me, I took her to the dentist for x-rays.
The x-ray showed that she doesn't have enough room for the permanent teeth to come out, and most likely all her teeth would need to be extracted. The doctor said the two bottom needed to be extracted today and that the others would be to be extracted with time.
For any normal child, this would be a reason to be alarmed, but Mimi is not a normal child. She handled the situation as an adult, as usual. She kept her cool at all times and not one tear came out of her eyes. Her face was the face of somebody that was alert, not the face of somebody that was in pain.
Both teeth were extracted and she felt really proud. We ended up getting ice cream afterwards. Here she is with her double window and also wearing one of the eyeglasses for my party to come.
