I texted the dentist the morning of the appointment to tell him Jake's front tooth was more than ready to come out and we were NOT leaving his office with that tooth. After looking at his teeth, the dentist told me were were leaving there without BOTH front teeth. So...Jake got a little topical numbing and a visit from the forceps. I fully anticipated carrying him out of there hysterical, but he was so brave! He was thrilled. He looks so grown up.
He saved the teeth from the tooth fairy for one night so he could take them to school. Looks like we will have a visit from the tooth fairy tonight (if she remembers...she has a tendency to forget).

Just look at him beam even without his two front teeth! He's so cute! Jake is definitely a brave boy. Not many kids like visiting the dentist because they have low tolerance for pain. It's great that the dentist did a good job too and did not traumatize him.

It’s funny that Jake was thrilled to come out without his two front teeth! But I agree that he was pretty brave! Most kids would’ve been hysterical. I do hope that the tooth fairy didn’t forget to reward Jake for his bravery. ;)
