Well - here he is. Sans baby front teeth. You can see the divots in his gums where the teeth used to be and how the new teeth were pushing out the old ones.
Air Boss has refrained from posting the more gory photos on flickr. He mentioned that for the 45 degree angle tooth, the dentist used what looked like a flat head screwdriver to pop the tooth out. For the other tooth, the pliers were needed. There was no way that tooth was going to come out without tools. Air Boss and I, after looking at the second baby tooth, are wondering if part of that tooth may still be in his gums. The tooth is jagged - not a clean break and not how a loose tooth would naturally fall out.
Anyway, 'Shroom is sleeping right now. His pillow is resting on top of two baby teeth to see what the Tooth Fairy will bring.
I don't know what the Tooth Fairy will bring either but I don't think it will be LEGO's...

ha! you told him about the tooth fairy? or he knew about it? we gave B zilch for his first two teeth - so no expectations set up for any future loss teeth! :-p Glad that he was a trooper. Good thing you didn't go!
I think we had read a couple of books about the tooth fairy. Never really condoned it but he did know about "gifts" left behind in exchange for teeth under the pillow. We slipped two dollars under his pillow - one for each tooth. He knows it's from us as Air Boss simply said, "there's no such thing as the tooth fairy."
No drama, no hoopla, no fairies...life goes on.
Great pictures! I'm glad he did so well.
Kids hear about the tooth fairy from their friends at school. We never read any books with the tooth fairy and still we're getting questions about what they're going to get for their teeth. A even wrote a note to the tooth fairy with her last tooth. Her first one got lost so she wanted to write a letter to explain what happened and get credit. She got $0.25 for the little tooth and $1 for the big one.
