A woman from Ricky's orthodontist's office called to go over the plan for his treatment. As it turns out, after reviewing the x-rays, the orthodontist has decided Ricky needs four (was six, but Ricky lost two of them last week) lazy baby teeth pulled and to come back in six months to decide what to do (hopefully by then he'll have grown some more permanent teeth). They're sending a referral for the extractions to the pedi dentist, who should be calling me for an appointment. I had these same teeth pulled out when I was approximately the same age... Same "extreme crowding" problem...
