My poor baby is in for a HEAP of dental/orthodontic work, and we began the process yesterday. She had SIX, yes SIX of her baby teeth pulled yesterday to make room for her adult teeth coming in that had no where to go. All 4 of her "eye" teeth and the two inside the top eye teeth. What a TROOPER she was!! Went in so brave, and then when her inhibitions were down and was coming out of the anesthesia, she was a MESS. But she did really well, and we're very proud of her! Now we wait 3 months for those teeth to start filling in, and the next steps are a jaw spacer and nighttime headgear. Oy! Poor thing!! She'll thank me in high school right?? LOL Here's some before and after pics!
Before:

In recovery...I lost it when I saw her like this.

After:....a little doped up on pain meds.
