Landon's new look!

About a month or so ago I noticed that Landon had a slightly brown tooth. He was past due for a dentist appointment so I called and scheduled an appointment. We went to a new dentist because the dentist we went to before is too far away now that we have moved. I found a closer dentist and scheduled an appointment. A couple weeks ago we took them to the dentist. Emma who has freaked out before with the dentist did extremely well. We asked the Dentist about Landon's brown tooth. He checked it out and it turned out to be infected. The dentist told us the tooth would have to be pulled. This morning he had his dentist appointment to get his tooth pulled. Dave took the day off work and took Landon to the dentist and I stayed home with Emma and Reagan. I took some pictures this morning so I would have the before and after. However, the camera was being really weird this morning and took some pretty scary pictures. Landon literally looked like a zombie. It was freaky. So the before picture is not from today. I did get a good after picture. When Landon got home from the dentist he was still recovering from the drugs. He couldn't eat breakfast for an hour and he had to keep his head up. If he wanted to lay down he had to lay down flat so he wouldn't choke. When the drugs started to wear off he got a little emotional saying "I want my tooth back" and started crying. It was very sad but I told him that it would be ok. He calmed down. Now Landon has a new look and will have this look for the next couple years. I'm sure he will get used to it.

Ah...the poor kid. I remember having to get 4 teeth pulled before they could put on my braces. So NOT fun.

Oh, that is rough on the little ones although they do adapt easy! I think it is harder on the parents sometimes! I am sure he looks adorable!
