Time for a family trip to the dentist…. hmmm this could be interesting. The benefit for Lali having five older siblings is that she can observe how they interact and behave when put into different and sometimes difficult situations. It does not mean that she will react the same or sympathise but being visual she can see what will be happening to her.
The family dentist is great and after a bit of coaxing we got Lali into the chair and mouth open, a quick poke around and all ok, rather a surprise considering Lali will not tolerate the taste or texture of any toothpaste.
Lali was desperate to get the dentist to remove a tooth that was starting to get slightly loose, but unfortunately the dentist said that it was no where near to coming out so best wait for nature to take its course. By the time we had got home Lali was brewing into a full melt down, crying and saying how she hated her life (yep just cause her tooth was not removed), this crying and yelling went on for about half an hour and during that time she had asked each of us to pull out the offending tooth. After no success with any family member doing the deed Lali took herself off to the bathroom and twenty minutes later proudly emerged with a handful of bloody toilet paper and one tooth…. stating ‘wow I am very brave’

I can relate. My 6 year old just started losing her teeth as well and was very distressed by the strange feeling of that first wiggly tooth. By the second tooth she was a little less upset by it and so I have hope that she will get better with this over time. Good luck!

Ha ha here is hoping, or else she will be rather gummy for a while.
