Rylan is still waiting on getting braces but in order to prepare for them, the orthodontist wanted him to go ahead and get some baby teeth out. He has permanent teeth coming in anyway they can, but the orthodontist needs some space to work with to help correct that.
On Wednesday, Rylan got 5 teeth extracted (Carter had 4 out this summer). Rylan had all 4 canines and his last lateral incisor pulled. Carter still has 2 of his canines so Rylan has now officially lost more baby teeth.
Rylan did excellent. He acted super tough and never was upset about having to get his teeth pulled but he admitted to being nervous beforehand. I had to bring Gray with me and usually siblings aren't allowed in the room but thankfully they let him in with me and he was perfectly silent and still the whole time. I got to hold Rylan's foot and he listened to music the whole time. The nitrous oxide may have helped too :)
Rylan attempted to eat an ice cream cone on the way home but gave up pretty quick.
Those canines have some real roots! The tooth fairy must have liked them though because Rylan got $25 :)
