Cavities, Extractions, and BRACES(?)...OH MY!!!!!

Lauren had an interesting visit to the dentist..but nothing we didn't truly expect! She has a couple baby teeth that have not come out and the perm teeth are breaking through...so the baby teeth have to come out-hence the extraction! That would be extractions, yes, more than one:( She's a tough kid-hopefully she'll be good with it. Just one (barely there) cavity they are going to seal over, so nothing too horrible with that. AND..they gave us a referral for an orthodontist, but suggested we wait until the perm teeth come in. The problem is overcrowding making her alignment crazy, but it may solve itself as her teeth shift further. So no hurries in that arena:) Wish her luck!
