At almost 7, we had still not met the Tooth Fairy. That was until last week. Alyssa had a shark tooth, where the adult tooth is growing in behind the baby tooth. I guess it is pretty common and not a concern, but since it wasn't coming up from underneath, the baby tooth wasn't loose at all. When Alyssa went in her her cleaning the decided they would 'wiggle it out' for her. While they had her under the laughing gas, they just went ahead and pulled both bottom ones to give the adult teeth more room to come in. They said the adult tooth would gradually move into the right place, but I am seeing several thousands of dollars in our future to keep this smile beautiful.
The Tooth Fairy did not disappoint! She came and collected Alyssa's tooth box that held her two baby teeth and left two 'gold' $1 coins in their place. Alyssa was ecstatic!! She has since started 'wiggling' the top teeth in hopes they will be next. I wonder what the Tooth Fairy does with those teeth anyway?!?!? ;)
