The tooth has to go.

I took Grace to the pediatric dentist this past Wednesday, and she said the tooth must go.  It's broken, not cracked, and there's no way she can crown it.  She'll need a space maintainer once her back molar comes in completely, so I'll need to watch for it to grow in a little more.  I was hoping they could do it all at once, but the broken tooth needs to be taken out as soon as possible.  The dentist is hoping to use nitrous oxide to get her relaxed in order to numb the area, but they're fairly certain she'll have to be restrained during the actual extraction.  Anyway, Lord willing, we'll head to the dentist October 11th early in the morning.  I have a feeling that it will be an interesting day. Poor baby.
