Tooth Extraction

Caden did indeed have two baby teeth extracted. This experience turned out to be harder than we expected. For one, the laughing gas did not make Caden feel like laughing... at all... he felt like he had low blood sugar and got a little panicky. And secondly, I'm more squeamish than I thought I was, although this observation had been based not on tooth extraction but on chicken plucking, eviscerating, and certain disgusting jobs involving vomit, our dog, and a nest of moles. Watching teeth be extracted really bothered me, but I needed to be there for Caden, so i breathed deeply and looked out the window. Caden recovered in no time, however, and his front teeth are already moving as the other two teeth come down. Here's his before and after pictures.
