Zhara Looses A Tooth

Zhara had a cavity filled over a year ago & a week ago she started complaining about her mouth hurting. A trip to the dentist told us that her tooth that had been filled now was infected & had to be pulled. She took antibiotics for a week...which she thought was great because she got to go down to the office at school everyday to take her meds. She does so great while she getting her teeth worked on (we've done is MANY times) but she's a little big wiggly so we have to hold her hands to keep her from pulling her mask off that gives her the laughing gas. When it was time to pull the tooth I have to hold her legs down. She didn't cry until the very end when Dr Miner yanked it out. I couldn't watch so I just held her legs while David held her arms down.Here is the tooth
They gave her a treasure box to keep the tooth in for the tooth fairy. When we got home she put it right under her pillow. She woke up with an empty treasure box & two dollars under her pillow.
