The orthodontist told us yesterday that my daughter needs to have both upper canines extracted (baby teeth), as the permanent ones are starting to lay sideways. He is hoping to prevent surgery, because they could become impacted.
I managed an appointment last year, where she had one baby tooth extracted, because her permanent lateral incisor grew in on the wrong side of the canine baby tooth.
My issue is that this one is a repeat of what I went through as a kid. I had my baby canines extracted, but still ended up with impacted teeth and had to have surgery. The extractions were traumatic and painful (not enough anesthetic).
I am struggling with this one. I am trying to be chipper for my daughter. She was terrified the last time for the shots, but did okay with the actual extraction. Now she knows what to expect and is already panicking about the shots, and the pain after extraction, which is causing me anxiety that I am trying to hide.
We haven't scheduled it yet. The orthodontist is going to send the information to the dentist, and then they will call us to schedule
