[tri-med] Re: Losing teeth

I think the thought was that she somehow loosened them with grinding  
or chewing on something, or pushing on them with her finger (or  
whatever). Even at the time I wondered how I could have missed that  
extreme of traumatizing! The dentist removed two of the loose tooth  
(that still had roots) because he was concerned Keren would swallow  
them. It made sense!
Keren will definitely have a mouthful when her adult teeth come in-- 
something will have to be done just to fit them in! I guess we'll  
find out how much we're willing to do....

things daily...and teaching us even more (9/27/02), Clarissa Joanne,  
our 2-year-old Tigger who amazes me and drives me crazy (7/17/05) ),  
and Evelyn Ruth who's full of cheeky grins...and pretty much walking  
at nine months--Yikes! (4/26/07)
