Ben was eating cold cereal one morning, and a piece of a tooth came off. A few more pieces came off over a few days. Eventually, Ben told me he really needed to go to the dentist, so I made an appointment for him and Marissa (who had a tooth that needed to come out because the new one was coming up and she wasn't able to get the old one out). They both did great. Ben went first. It took a really long time and I sort of wondered what was going on. Eventually he came out and the dentist called us back to show what happened. Because of the way the new tooth was coming in, it had pushed on the root of the old tooth. When the dentist pulled the tooth, the root broke off so some was left behind. The dentist had to drill and hammer and work to get it out but it was worth is so Ben doesn't have problems later. It sure hurt but he'll be fine.
