Trey just left with his daddy. When he comes home in a few hours he'll be missing three teeth. He's six years old and already has a dentist, an orthodontist, and an oral surgeon. Today he'll be visiting Dr. Cook, his oral surgeon. Dr. Cook will be removing another supernumerary (extra tooth) and two baby teeth. This is the second supernumerary that has been removed, the first was removed with laughing gas in the dentist's office. It was very painful for Trey. This time he will be put to sleep while the three teeth are removed. These extra teeth have completely rearranged the alignment of his permanent teeth in his gums. The orthodontist is hoping that by remove these three teeth his permanent teeth will fall back into place.

Riley is home with me and Evan today, much happier today because school was canceled. It's a cold snowy mess out there!
