First Permanent Tooth Making Appearance
So, about a week ago or so, Parker said something about his front left bottom tooth hurting. When I went to look at it, I noticed that behind it, it looked like another tooth was coming up. Well, yesterday, his baby tooth in front of it is loose!! I think he'll lose his first tooth soon, which is pretty exciting stuff around here.
I'd been a little concerned, since the permanent tooth is coming up behind the baby one, but apparently it isn't unheard of, and the recommendations range from leaving it be to pulling the baby tooth. This can also lead to what is called "shark teeth", which looks more than a little disturbing. I think we'll go for the wiggling frequently manuever. He's eating an apple right now, so I'm sure that'll help.
