Is it normal?

Well, if it’s not “normal” at least it’s very common, or so has the dentist assured me. Henry had been complaining that his teeth hurt for about a month now. When he first mentioned it I checked in his mouth and saw that his top 6-year- old molars where in and that the bottom ones where in the process of coming in. So I explained to him that teeth coming in hurt, I gave him some Motrin and called it good. Two weeks ago, after regular complaining, I checked again and this is what I saw… Yes, my first reaction was “what the…?” Tyler called his mother, who told him not to worry about it, that the baby teeth would eventually fall out. Well, I did worry and I searched the internet, because isn’t it what we all do in this day and age? After finding quite a few posts and still not entirely reassured, Henry’s baby teeth weren’t even loose, I called the dentist, who said… exactly the same thing; to have Henry wiggle the baby teeth and push with his tongue on the big ones and that the baby ones would fall out on their own. Well, He did wiggle them and finally last night one did fall out.

And the second one won’t be far behind. Now he needs to push on the adult teeth with his tongue to make sure that come where they should be.
