My sweet Ellie was born with the worst most uncooperative teeth ever! Every single tooth has grown in without enamel on the edge near the gums requiring fillings on every single baby tooth. Each time she has been in for work it's been for 14 plus teeth at a time. This time she threw up on the dentist. I don't know who I felt worse for.
Then when her adult teeth finally come in they do what we call "shark tooth". The adult tooth doesn't push the baby tooth loose and out it just grows in behind creating a second row of teeth. Then we have to really work to force the baby tooth loose. When we finally do that the darn baby tooth never comes out. The blood vessel holding that tooth in is so big we have to snap it and it bleeds a LOT! Needless to say, this poor girls mouth is not a favorite thing for mom or child!
