Kenzie's New Smile

BEFORE

AFTER



A few months ago, Makenzie and Brayden bonked heads so hard that it knocked Makenzie's two front teeth loose. We gave her soft foods and babied them with the hope that they would fuse back where they belonged. She was finally able to eat apples and corn on the cob again and then. . . yesterday she tripped and fell on the cement. The poor little girl wasn't able to get her hands out in front in time to break the fall. She did a complete face plant and cracked her front tooth. I was pretty sure it was a goner. Sure enough, when I took her to the dentist today he said it needed to be pulled immediately. I was very sad! But Makenzie is one tough little girl. She didn't cry or scream or even wiggle when they pulled her tooth! She got a little alien as a reward, which she is proudly showing off in the last picture. Now she is all smiles again and anxiously awaiting a visit from the tooth fairy!

Oh how sad. Dalin fell on a big toy and chipped both his front teeth but it wasn't bad enough to pull them, so they just left them. At least she can show off to all her friends now :)

I always feel like kids are too young to lose their teeth! Sounds like she was super brave though!
