Don't know why we've had facial issues in our household this week, but that's just the way it's been. Drake woke up yesterday and mentioned that his tooth hurt. I gave his some ibuprofen and orajel and didn't hear much more about it. Last night before bed, he said his gum hurt around the tooth so I administered more of the same quick fix. This morning he woke up with the side of his face swollen like that of a chipmunk. This called for a trip to the dentist since Drake wouldn't agree to JJ using his pliers.
An infection had developed between this tooth and the permanent tooth that was forcing itself in. Dr. Kevin pulled it and prescribed an antibiotic. I'm not sure if the tooth fairy will accept a defective tooth. We'll just have to wait and see!

Poor Drake! Hope he feels better.
