Fortunately, there was a pediatric dentist with Saturday hours who was able to squeeze us in today (amazing! and they're only 10 minutes from our house!) Mike took Mattie over, and they did x-rays, and his permanent tooth underneath is ready to come in! I was really surprised; I thought he'd be a bit older for that. But it looks like the Tooth Fairy will be visiting our house sooner rather than later. (The orange thing in the picture is a "tooth case" they gave him at the dentist's office.)
They also did a cleaning for him while he was there, and he was in the Scooby Doo room. So, altogether a good experience! (Unfortunately, though, he does have a small cavity, so hopefully he'll still like them after they do the filling in a couple weeks.)

Taking Mattie to the pediatric dentist as quickly as possible was a great idea. Loose baby teeth are usually never painful, so I'm positive that something else was causing that issue to pop up. In any case, now that you've seen the x-rays, you can prepare a bit more for the occasion. Thanks for sharing that, Melanie! All the best to your family! :)

Having a loose tooth could be difficult at times, especially when you’re eating. Although Mattie ended up losing that tooth, I bet he was pretty happy with what the tooth fairy got him. Did he give that extra quarter to James? Haha! Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us. All the best!

It’s good to know that the clinic was able to squeeze you in despite the short notice, and that it’s not that far away from your home. A loose tooth could be quite painful and irritating sometimes, that’s why it’s nice to know that you were able to take care of it right away. Anyway, thanks for sharing this with us, Melanie! Have a good day!
