Trey's Tooth!!

Trey--his TRIPS to the dentist for one crazy tooth!!  Several months back Trey had a cavity filled.  My dentist told me he went down as far as he could and hoped he got it all, but wasn't 100% positive when filling in a cavity for Trey.  Sure enough, about 9 months later he began complaining about it, so I made him an appointment and they preformed a root canal on the tooth.  About two weeks later while bushing his teeth I noticed the all so recognizable GUM BOIL. I knew what it was because Kory ended up having a tooth pulled because of one, so I made him another appointment.  The only solution was the pull the tooth!

I must say he was pretty brave for such a huge tooth.  It had a lot of root left on it.  The dentist offered to make him a necklace out of it, but Trey wasn't up for it.  Next week we return again for yet another appointment to put a spacer in the area so his other teeth don't shift forward.  Our dentist joked that he set a record for the most work done on one tooth!!
