Let’s Talk About Teeth, Baby

I know I shouldn’t be saying this out loud but I gotta brag on my girl.

She now has four molars, one on top and bottom on both sides. And we just discovered them.  As in, we had no idea she was teething.

Part of me feels bad for her that she went through it with no pain medication. But then I think if it had hurt her, she would have let us know and we would have discovered the teething and given her Motrin. The other part of me thinks my girl is a bad ass! She don’t need no stinkin’ pain medication.

I know you are probably wondering how I could not notice a teething baby. But she really doesn’t allow us to mess with her mouth too much. We can brush her teeth but she keeps her mouth shut pretty tightly.

Is it weird that she’s got molars before the teeth next to her front teeth? She started to get the two on top next to her front teeth and they’ve broken through the gum but they haven’t really come in. And the two next to her bottom front teeth are nowhere to be found. I hope she has those teeth.

And on a slightly unrelated note, I have to bitch about my damn braces. Besides drooling, food gets stuck in the brackets like crazy. Since it’s not polite to pick food out of your teeth at the table or generally in public, I have now twice sprained my tongue or something trying to get the food out as subtly as possible. How exactly does one treat a sprained tongue?
