Oh No!!!!

December has been a rough month for us. Plumbing issues, faulty garage door and now this! I usually brush Ry's teeth. I stand behind him scrub all his pearly whites. Hand him a cup of mouthwash. (Kids Listerine, Strawberry Mint - It's good. We're all addicted.) And off we go. Well Saturday Rylan insisted on cleaning his own teeth. So I loaded his toothbrush up with toothpaste and let him have at it. He brushed for probably ten minutes, and then handed his brush back to me. Rinsed his mouth with mouth wash and then looked at me so I could check to verify that he did a good job. I had to do a double take. Rylan's front tooth is turning brown. After an urgent call to our pediatric dentist I verified what I already suspected. It is to late for Ry's front tooth. Dr. Kollman assured me that if the tooth is turning brown the nerve is already dead. So he is off to the dentist sometime today. Do they cap four year olds teeth? Will they pull it? All Wade and I know for sure is that he will not be running around with a discolored tooth! Keep your fingers crossed for good news.
