Yesterday was Tyson's dentist appointment. You can read more here, but I decided to take him in to have his front tooth looked at since it was coming in a little strange.
So, we went in, all the ladies smiled and goo-gooed at the handsome baby (apparently a child so young is rare in the dentist office).
The hygenist took a look in his mouth first. We laid him on our laps, with his feet on me, and his head on her lap. She looked with her little mirror tool and said lots of things like, "Hmm.." and "that IS strange" and "oh my gosh, it's soft" and "wow". As she poked at it, it started to bleed, so she decided to wait for Dr. Erin to take a look.
When the Doctor came over, she poked around a little bit, and came to the conclusion that it was not a tooth. She said that either something got lodged in his gums (some kind of food), or it was tissue that grew differently and happened to be white.
At any rate, she removed whatever it was, and we were on our way.
Whew! I really thought this was the start of some serious dental problems for the poor little guy.
