Extra, Extra....

Tooth??? I guess it is better than an extra toe or eyeball or something weird....
We got back from vacation and Cole asked me to look at something on the roof of his mouth. He thought he had a piece of popcorn stuck ( he is a popcorn eating fool..) It was right behind his two front teeth. It was another tooth....Called the dentist and made an appointment. By the time we went it had moved over to the side...After xrays and careful counting Doc determined it was an extra permanent tooth. Which means trip to the oral surgeon....just the thought causes heart palpitations. We do not have dental insurance...so I started to panic. God Bless Doc, he gave us copies of our xrays and a referal and we didn't have to sell a kidney to pay for it! Cole was so brave, they make the parents leave the room during the procedure, he just sat in the big chair, followed direction and was done in 10 min. They are tough like their daddy!
The extra tooth. It popped through in less than a week and moved over...crazy!
The hole it left! (sorry for the blurry photo..)
