Supernumerary day




For those of you who don't know, Jeffrey used to have an extra tooth. A tooth that was more commonly referred to as his "bubba tooth." It was a weird tooth that looked like it was coming in sideways where one of his front teeth should have been. Well, we took him to the doctor and the doctor said that the tooth was a "Supernumerary tooth" or "hyperdontia" Anyway, it is fancy talk for "the boy has an extra tooth that is not needed." So an appointment was made to remove the supernumerary and now it is gone. I tried taking a picture of the tooth to give you an idea of it, but it didn't turn out so well.

So now we have a gap that we hope the other teeth will push and fill in. Joel also got a chance to have his teeth counted at Dr. Fortner's office (Jason's cousin) so he didn't feel left out.



Ya know, sometimes not even wearing your Peyton Manning jersey helps to make the dentist visit go any better.
