His Two Front Teeth

Today Brady had a follow-up appointment to see how his teeth were holding up.  Well, it has been a Rocky Road regarding his teeth!  After he had his teeth fixed on 12/18/12, they were fine during the first month.  Then he had a follow-up appointment in January, and everything looked good.  A week after that follow-up appointment, one of the fillings came off.  Brady said that it was because he bumped into Clark.  I think he was horsing around!  Anyway, we paid to get that tooth fixed again the next week.  Then a couple days later, I noticed the other tooth came off.  So, we got that one fixed.  Then about a week later, they both ended up falling out again.  I decided to just wait for this appointment in April to discuss it with the dentist about why this keeps happening.  At first, I thought this kept happening because Brady was playing too rough, but the last couple of times they came out, he was not doing anything to cause it.  I am just tired of throwing my money away.  Well, today was the day to see what to do about those teeth.  After discussing my frustrations with the dentist, he offered to fix them free of charge.  He didn't know why this kept happening, but he did not want Brady to be self-conscious about his teeth as he gets older.  The dentist can't permanently fix his teeth until he is a teenager.  Hopefully, this fix stays until then.
