Ashley passed away right before her seventeenth birthday, but I believe that doing regular dentals is one of the things that helped her live such a long and mostly healthy life. Your baby needs to have his baby teeth extracted, so you are doing the right and loving thing for him. He's going to be just fine. I'm sure you are going to be exhausted tonight because of all of your worrying, but your little boy will probably will want to be running around playing. I hope the minutes fly by for you and that you have him back in your arms very soon. |
I believe the same thing about regular dentals! I've adopted a few seniors and in the last few years I've lost two seventeen year olds and two sixteen year olds. Oddly, the seventeen year olds both had renal failure and the sixteen year olds had cancer.
