We went for a routine dental visit for Blake and Asher. When they started to examine Asher they noticed that he had a abscess on his gum. That meant that he had trauma to his baby tooth. I vaguely remembered that Asher had bumped his tooth in the past month and he said that it was wiggly. When I felt it I didn't think it was wiggly and kind of forgot about it. They took an x-ray and said that his permanent tooth was fine, but that they needed to remove it because it could damage it before the baby tooth came out. They said that the baby tooth was probably going to come out within the next 6 months anyway. So, they numbed Asher up. He was kind of whimpering during the procedure, so they numbed him up some more. It took some tugging, but they got it out. I felt bad for Asher, but he looks so cute with his toothless grin. He put the tooth under his pillow and got $3 from the tooth fairy.
update - when we drove through El Paso and saw Mamaquel and Grandpa, Grandpa noticed that Asher was missing a front tooth. Even though Asher did not have the tooth to hand over and it was taken out with the dentist, he wanted to pay Asher for his tooth. He was counting out $5 when he decided to just give him a $20 bill. Asher was excited, but didn't quite understand how much that is.
