WHEW! Here's hoping there's no trouble with them for a long time - and that the day there's trouble, they just wiggle themselves loose and fall out easy peasy.

Yes, it isn't like not being found guilty but like being on probation. Dental surgeon said that my son was doing a great job brushing. He also said that he gets referrals all the time for people that don't need them out and some people still want them taken out even if there is not an actual problem. With my son and his sensitivities, it just makes sense to wait until there is a problem.

The biggest problem is that my son feeds my emotions so I always have to be strong or at least present myself that way.
