Olivia's front two teeth have been very loose for some time, and one (the right front tooth) was literally hanging on by a thread, I was beginning to worry that she might choke on it. She couldn't even bite with her front teeth as it was so loose. So I decided to pull it. So we wrapped a little dental floss on it and tied a small knot and just pulled it down, it came out really easy. So easy that Olivia laughed when the string came off, as she thought I missed her tooth. Little did she know that it was handing on the string... LAUGH
When I showed her the tooth was out she just said "HEY". She was thrilled to get a sucker and liked that it fit in the new hole.
For several hours she commented that her "Tooth...all gone".
Unfortunately our 3 year old twin son saw this event and immediately started sobbing. I think he thought we were just torturing Olivia. We had to explain that her tooth was loose an we just helped it come out for her new tooth. But I am not sure that he really understood.
Techincally this is Olivia's 3rd tooth. Her front bottom teeth came out at the orphanage between our 1st and 2nd visit. But her permanent teeth had come in behind her baby teeth, and were all the way in, so I am guessing that they pulled those two teeth.
