Some of you parents out there may be helping your child through the loss of a first tooth. Thankfully all my kids are beyond the tooth-losing stage, but I've begun to feel like I'm a kid at that stage again.
No, I'm not losing teeth. But as my teeth realign, some of them are a little looser and I've developed small gaps or spaces between some of my bottom teeth. Dr. Liz says gaps are good. It means my teeth are moving into correct alignment and that the gaps will close as all my teeth move into place.
But I can't help but feeling a little like a snaggletooth. Wish there was a braces tooth fairy!
