Orthodontist check up

Fisherman, Robbie and I spent the day in Port Lincoln today. It was time for Robbie's second check up and tightening of his braces. He still had a baby tooth in the way which he has had about six months now to wriggle out. Suffice to say he has done precious little wriggling.

Dr Gallagher told him he was going to give it a bit of a wobble to see how much it was hanging on by. The only person who didn't see the next thing coming was Robbie. Within seconds the offending tooth was out and poor Robbie had a look or complete horror and surprise! He couldn't believe that this nice kind old man would do such a sneaky and devious thing! He was even more put out by the fact that his mother and his aunt (who was also the dental nurse) were falling about laughing at his expression. It was just priceless.

So, now that the baby tooth is finally out of the way his adult tooth will be able to come down and be straightened into position.

The remainder of the day was spent browsing the shops and just spending time together. It was lovely. We bought Robbie a chocolate milkshake to make up for having his tooth pulled out, he forgave us eventually!
