Noah has had a baby tooth loose but not loose enough for a few months. When he was at his last checkup Dr. Wilson scheduled an appointment to pull it, unless he lost it beforehand. It was delaying the growth of his adult tooth coming through and we feared it would grow in crooked.
On the week leading up to it, Noah said every day, "I'm not going to the dentist" and he wiggled and wiggled the tooth. The day of he said the same thing and kept wiggling. At the dentist he showed me and half of it was still pretty secure when they called him back.
He was gone, maybe 2 minutes, and came back out with gauze in his mouth. I said, "Wow! That was fast. See, it wasn't that bad, huh?" To which he quickly corrected me that he pulled it himself. I was confused.
The staff came out laughing and Dr. Wilson confirmed that yes, he did pull it himself. Right as he was walking in, Noah yanked it out. As we were leaving, Noah mentioned that because he went to the trouble of pulling it himself, the tooth fairy should really leave him extra.
I'm happy to report she did.
