Ralph the Jack O'Lantern?

As a result of a consulation visit to an orthodontist at the end of June, Ralph had some teeth pulled recently.  When we walked out of the orthodontist office I wasn't sure if it was going to be 4-5 teeth - when we heard from the dentist office the next morning we found out it was going to be 8 teeth over 2 visits.

The morning of the first visit - 


AND after having 3 teeth pulled (the ones on the right side)


Those 3 teeth were not leaving anytime soon - roots were still super long - 


A week later he had 5 more pulled out (the left side) . . . two small teeth; 3 with long roots.



Now we wait  . . . he still has some other teeth to lose but its too soon to pull those.  It will still be a few years most likely before he gets braces.
