We saw the doctor this morning and had an x-ray done of Georgia's front teeth. Obviously Georgia's had some trauma to her tooth and I assumed that because it was changing color, it was dead - not necessarily. Apparently teeth can bounce back from trauma like this. The discoloration may go away, get worse, or stay the same. For now, they're doing nothing but checking her again in a few months. I hope that little guy can hang in there and heal! However, Dr. Ross did say that thumb-sucking could compromise the healing of the tooth, much like a broken arm that's not casted. Her thumb sucking could be moving that tooth every day and not allowing it to heal properly. Lovely.
And while we were in there we heard a kid who was moaning/screaming THE WHOLE TIME. Georgia didn't seem to notice, so I'm grateful for that. It was very reminiscent of the screams I endured during Georgia's recent splinter extraction. I had to resist the urge to go in and hug the kid's mom.
