braces

sadie recently got braces.
exciting.
then max had a dentist appointment
and his very first x-rays.
very exciting.
we found out he has an extra permanent tooth
right in between his top two front permanent teeth.

looks like he will need braces when he is about eight and then again when he is a teenager. he has been nervous about it all, so when sadie had her check up i took max along. we showed the orthodontist his x-rays, who then gave max a high five and let him sit in the chair (he needs to get comfortable in that chair since i'm sure he will spend a lot of time there). he watched while they worked on sadie. i hope it relieved some of his anxiety.

HIGHLIGHT:
when we were all done, sadie said how bad her teeth hurt but she was not going to complain because she didn't want to scare max. i love it when my kids take care of each other.
