The "Extra" tooth

An intended dental cleaning session turned into a day surgery planned for the following day. How could we not be in shock?

********************

Dr Ong ordered an X-Ray for Kaeden as the gap between his two front tooth was unusually wide. Indeed, there was an extra tooth, termed as the Supernumerary tooth, embedded in his gum!

A simple surgery under GA was required to remove the extra tooth so as to allow the gap to close up as well as for the tooth beside to come out. And so, the next morning, we were admitted into Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital...

I am very glad that the entire day/night of agony and worry was over in 30 minutes! Kaeden was awake shortly after being out from the operating theater. Other than being grouchy, he is doing good :)
