Jenna has had this tooth that has been loose for at least a month. It just hangs to the center and seems to be very stubborn. We have tried several different ways to get the tooth out. It was "just stuck".
It looks like she has already lost a tooth on top because the tooth is so far to the middle. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen. She is one tough cookie. We spent about 10 minutes trying different ways to get it out. Mommy trying. Daddy trying. Jenna trying. NOTHING!! So we gave up and decided it would come soon enough. I was amazed because it was so loose. She would move it with her tongue as she talked. GROSS!!
Then...she went downstairs and was playing with Megan and I guess there was an accident. Megan happened to pop Jenna in the mouth (somehow) and the blood and tears began. It was tough to get the blood to stop. I kept her calm and gently applied some pressure to try to stop the bleeding. I decided that it was now or never to try to get that troubled tooth out.
It took no effort at all. Out it came.
Thanks Jared for your words of wisdom. Wish you were closer.
