Another lost tooth for Corrine

Corrine's front tooth had roots of steal!! It's been loose for weeks or even close to 2 months, but it just wouldn't fall out. She could push it back to the roof of her mouth, pull it forward, even twist it and it would cling on for dear life.
Her gum above it was getting bruised and the tooth was turning grey because it was so dead, so we decided the tooth had to go.


Papa tried pulling it out-didn't work. Mom tried pulling it out-no luck. Dad tried pulling it out-still stuck. Corrine gave it another shot-but it wouldn't come out.
So out came the needle nose pliers. Papa held her head still and dad used the pliers. It took some prodding to get Corrine is go for it. After the 1st try and realizing it didn't hurt she was ready for dad to keep pulling. It took a couple pulls, but then her tooth finally let go of it's last root and feel out.

Dad said since it took pliers to get the tooth out, the tooth fairy would give her more money! She liked that idea. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy telling her that it took pliers to get it out, to make sure she got her extra reward!

Since her front teeth came in she's always had a gap between her front teeth. That gap is much bigger now with a tooth missing. I wonder if it's gone for good now since her front teeth will be bigger then the baby teeth were. The gap being gone is just another sign showing Corrine is growing up.

Corrine's lost tooth count stands at 3.
