Toothless? Not Quite!

Today, Gerren had 4 adult teeth pulled under anesthesia by the oral surgeon. He just doesn't have enough room in his mouth for all his adult teeth. (Greg had to have two of his adult teeth pulled also when he was a kid.) These are the yucky teeth that came out of his head and that he wanted to keep!



He doesn't look like he's missing any teeth does he! He does look tired, though. He never even needed a Tylenol. He did, however, get a $6 smoothie! Next summer, after the remaining adult teeth are in, he'll get braces. Yippee!

Wow! That's gotta hurt. How was the recovery? Isn't it interesting how our mouths/bodies are all designed so differently.

At least he got a yummy smoothie out of it all. :)

OUCH! I had to have 2 adult teeth pulled back in high school and before I started orthodontia.
