About a year ago Beck fell off his bike and smacked his mouth on the ground resulting in his four front top teeth being chipped. The dentist said all was well but to watch the teeth for signs of death. One started to go grey and then all the sudden one day it was totally black. Upon xray, the tooth was dead and there was an abcess up in the root. He never complained that his tooth hurt so I was pretty shocked. In the end, his tooth had to be pulled by a pediatric dentist who put him under to do the deed. Watching him wake from anesthetic was hilarious to say the least. Two other children's surgeries were started and finished AND sent home all in the time Beck was trying to wake up from it. He made no sense when he tried to talk, his eyes were rolling all over the place, and even fell off the couch and couldn't even move his face to be more comfortable. He obviously takes anesthesia pretty hard. Once he went back to preschool a few days later, I asked him how cool it was to show his friends that he already lost a tooth etc...and asked him "And what did Miss Tanya say about your missing tooth?!" "Her didn't listen about it." He seemed so deflated. Poor Beck!
