It's Officially a Concern...

This morning we made the trek to the children's ER.  Due to the holidays, we couldn't get in to see Ethan's paediatric dentist nor his paediatrician so we spent the day in the ER instead.  This morning while cleaning his teeth, I noticed he had ANOTHER loose tooth.  Given his MRI is supposed to be on Thursday, I wanted to be sure the loose tooth wouldn't cause a problem with the MRI and to see if they might be able to guide us to some answers as to why he is losing so many teeth.  The dental resident pulled his tooth as it would have maybe lasted until sometime tomorrow but it would likely be swallowed and we wanted to ensure it did not go into his lungs.  It looked just like the one that fell out on the 24th, they have no roots and are hollow.  This should not be happening to someone Ethan's age and he did say we should get in to see his paediatric dentist as soon as they reopen in the New Year and have x-rays done.  Once we have the x-rays we'll see if his adult teeth are under the gums.  Hopefully we'll also get a clue as to what is going on and will be able to proceed from there.  He only has one tooth left of his bottom front four and we don't know how long that one will hold on.
