A toothy grin

Kami and Caden were having a batting contest when they were little and Caden stood behind- and too close- to Kami during her turn.  She ended up batting his tooth and the end of it broke right off.  It's had to be worked on many's the time because the bottom part of it falls off. 

At the beginning of November, Caden woke up for work and noticed that his tooth had fallen off in the night.  He had to go to work looking like a hill billy.  I got him into our dentist who said that he needed a crown.  He took a mold, but couldn't put a crown on for awhile, so Caden went to work and church without a full tooth. 

We have a great dentist here, but apparently he doesn't get much experience with teeth.  I have noticed that when people around here lose teeth, they never get a replacement.  It took our dentist a few tries to get Caden's tooth fixed.  First he made one that was too yellow.  Then it stuck out too much.  Finally, after a month, Caden got his final crown.  I'm glad this happened BEFORE he left on his mission!
