The Very Last One

I remembered Zaky growing his 1st tooth when he was very little and then the other little ones spout soon after. I remembered very clearly bcos I was breastfeeding him then and it is not fun when you have teeth sinking into your breasts. 

He is also the one with more oral problems including a baby root canal. Bcos he started growing teeth early, I think they also seem to drop off earlier. I had always thought that molars are not replaced; I don't remember dropping my molars. Only when Lil Shauna started dropping hers, I realised they do. Molars are like so huge and the thought that they dropped surprised me. I never keep any of Lil Shauna's molar. 

Zaky started dropping his by teeth a number of years back and then there was a long pause. I had thought that he was done. In recent years, his molars started dropping and then I thought that he was done again. Just last week, he said that another one was shaky. Huh? How come so many de? I was relieved when he confirmed that it was a baby tooth, the very last one. 

The shaky tooth irritated him for a week and he even bugged me to bring him to the dentist. This kind no need dentist lah. So he was constantly whinning and wiggling the tooth and finally! 

Look how tiny it is. This little one went to storage along with a few of the tiny ones that I had remembered to keep, including a few molars. 

With this, we have officially replaced the baby teeth and pls take care of the adult ones bcos not only the dentist is expensive, dental problems are very painful. I know bcos my cracked tooth is and is still sitting wrapped in the metal band, waiting for the next step. Not looking forward.
