It took 2 years and 1 month

for Liam's tooth to finally grow in! 

On January 14th 2008 he had 2 teeth pulled, 2 root canals and 8 silver caps all done while he was under a general anesthetic. Here' the brave little bunny waking up from the ordeal.

 

and back home again with his lovely toothy grin (and blood stained lips).

The new tooth isn't actually grown in yet... but it did break through the skin today!  We were starting to worry that it was never going to grow in and that the dentist would have to take drastic measures.  So YEAH!   It's here!!!  One down and one to go!

My son has had the same amount of work done to his mouth (he's 8) and I know how BIG a deal this is - YAY! My guy had to have 2 of his surgically erupted because they just would NOT come down, and we are now waiting (and hoping) for these next 2 to come down!

Awww poor little guy! So glad his teeth are coming in though! Zilla lost his front teeth kind of early and it took FOREVER for them to come in! I even had the dentist take x-rays to make sure they were adult teeth in there SOMEWHERE!

He's gonna love having those teeth back!
