Kenzie had her follow up with Dr. Larsen, her dentist yesterday. I noticed a few weeks ago that Kenzies two front teeth were going slightly grey. I called in and gave the report to Dr. Larsen. He wanted to do some x-rays on the front teeth to check the nerves.
Kenzie may be able to keep her front teeth for another year at the most. Dr. Larsen said there is no current infection and it does not look like there is damage to her perement teeth, although the initial fall may have done damage.
He wants to take another x-ray in four months and check the teeth again, meanwhile they will continue to get darker.
I am not a vein mother but, I was a bit upset that Kenzie would have grey front teeth for maybe another year or so. I asked Dr.Larsen if we could whiten her teeth at the next check-up. He did not seemed bothered by this question and very kindly said "Of Course" apparently I am not the only vein mother he sees.
When he finally has to pull the teeth, Kenzie will have missing front teeth for several years. She may not get her perement teeth until she is five or six. If she is anything like Kason it may be longer. Kason has only lost 2 teeth and they are his bottom two and they had to be pulled.
So if you guys see us around and notice Kenzie darking teeth, I really do take care of my kids. They brush twice a day :)
This picture is not the Greatest but, it show a litle the darking of her teeth.

Your daughter is beautiful, grey teeth or not!
I know exactly how you feel. Tucker has a very dark grey front tooth. Although, I did not want to pay for the whitening so it just keep getting darker. I figure he is a boy so if the tooth falls out, no big deal! Just think, when Kenzie does lose those two teeth, it will just give her a little more charater. She doesn't seem to have enough of that!!! She will be darn cute no matter what.
She's such a QT, I don't think anyone would even notice!
She is so dang cute- it won't matter. But- I can totally see how you feel- I would too.
Oh Jackie, your not vain, i think you have been taught how to have pride in yourself and your children. That's why we bathe and brush our teeth. Id do the same, and just like everyone else has said, she's a doll, a couple grey teeth wont take that away!! Love ya
