After much agonizing, we finally decided to have Clare's front tooth removed. It repeatedly abscessed and we worried for the permanent tooth. Paul said she was a really good at the dentist considering that she had to get a shot of Novocaine. She seemed OK afterwards and was even eating pizza. To be honest, I think she is much more comfortable having what was left of her old tooth gone. She always seemed to have her hand in her mouth, and her lip was often cut where the rough stump of her old tooth grazed it. We kept her out of school the day after to give the gum a chance to heal. We played at the parks at Pavonia, and checked out the new skating rink and elephant sculptures there. When I brought her to school the next day, her little classmates were all so cute asking her about the dentist.
