They were like dentures and gave you a lisp !<BR/><BR/>Nowadays braces are so funky - I bet they don't hurt as much too. I used to dread my return from each dental appt - ouch...please don't tighten them so much. <BR/><BR/>DD1 recently came back from her first school dental visit and proudly proclaimed that she got her very wobbly front tooth removed & it didn't hurt ! Sometimes that highly sensitive child surprises me with how brave she can be ! With our family dentist we all have to rally around her and hold her hand just for a simple checkup.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-58373171046893422952009-03-03T21:42:00.000+08:002009-03-03T21:42:00.000+08:00Yeah, apparently the later the better cos the perm...Yeah, apparently the later the better cos the permanent set doesn't have to last as long.

Otherwise the the new tooth will look for another gap and may grow crooked.<BR/><BR/>Great that Sean's teeth haven't dropped yet. In this respect, I think the later the better!monlimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397210688200284987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109681525590028536.post-24779965403099072922009-03-03T19:34:00.000+08:002009-03-03T19:34:00.000+08:00No need to extract what, just let it fall off natu...No need to extract what, just let it fall off naturally, can? I have a fantastic dentist, super funny guy, whom I've been seeing the mid 1990s. Brian started going there for simple scaling when he was 3+. Sean went for the first time <A HREF="http://wrongsideofthirty.blogspot.com/2008/07/first-visit-to-dentist.html" REL="nofollow">last year</A>. When we're abroad, don't ever see dentist, too expensive. Till now, no cavities for both of them yahooooo. Some more never brush teeth at night, are we lucky or what? haha. <BR/><BR/>Brian's teeth have all fallen by themselves, we never extract, not one. He leaves them alone till the last dangling bit...and once I think he swallowed a tooth while eating! I was told you should try not to extract a loose tooth, cos the permanent tooth needs to be guided out by that tooth so it won't be crooked. Something like that. Sean's teeth are all still intact, nothing loose yet. <BR/><BR/>But Andre is fearless.
