Katelin's Tooth

In September Katelin had two cavities filled. These past couple of weeks she has been telling me that her tooth really hurts. I told her it was fine and that it was just what happens when you get a filling. Well, yesterday and the day before she was crying a lot because of her tooth. So I finally took her in. The X-ray showed that her filling was touching the nerve. So to make a long story short, she had a pulpotomy and crown done yesterday early evening. She woke up this morning and looked like she had her wisdom teeth taken out.
Luckily, our dentist is a good friend of our cousin. So I called my cousin bright and early this morning to get his cell number because something was obviously wrong. I got a hold of him and luckily, again, he was working today in an office twenty miles away. I drove up there and it was decided that he needed to pull the tooth. The infection had gone down all the way into the end of the root.
He really had to yank that thing out. It was the biggest baby tooth he has ever had pulled out-the roots were huge! Katelin screamed a lot and I felt so bad.

Anyway, here are some pictures she let me take. She wasn't very happy.
