Yeah, we've known for a couple years now that Chandler was more likely than not going to have to have some teeth pulled to make room for all his permanent teeth to come in. He's teeth have always been very crowded. (He got that from his Dad) They come in sideways and push the others to do the same. He even had one coming in behind another one!
He's been seeing an orthodontist in addition to his regulare dentist (recommended by his dentist) for 2 years now. They both have been monitoring the situation and talking about what steps to take and when to take them.
About 6 weeks ago, his orthodontist said it was time to take some action and pull 4 teeth, 2 on top and 2 on bottom. We decided to wait until wrestling season was over to avoid any complications incase he got hit in the mouth. He's lost 1 of the 4 teeth that needed to be pulled, so that was convenient! :)
So, his appointment is at 10am this morning. His dentist says that he'll do fine and she's not worried about him at all! I'm not concerned at all, but as a mom I can't help buy worry a little. It's a "mom thing" without a doubt.
Chandler is all excited because that means the tooth fairy gets to bring him money for 3 teeth all at once! LOL! I hope the tooth fairy can afford this one. :)

It will probably be $10 total tonight! :) Just because this is a little more tramatic than just losing a tooth! :)
Take care.
hope the appt goes well!
Matthew had to have a tooth pulled a few years ago, too. Watch him closely while he's still numb. Matthew ended up biting the inside of his cheek so badly that he needed stitches! He didn't feel a thing and didn't even have to have a shot to numb him for the stitches!
