Ben Gets His Wisdom Teeth Out
Bright and early last Monday morning Ben grabbed his ipod and sunglasses and headed to the dentist's office for the dirty deed. He decided to go with a local anesthia, since he's not sure how'd he do with laughing gas; he didn't respond well to it as a young boy seeing who knows what kind of hallucinations. He was a champ, even though they had to take a little bone on the left side to get out an impacted tooth. (Actually 3 of them were impacted). He didn't swell all that much, I think Katie still has the chipmunk cheeks award!

Getting your wisdom teeth out is one of the hallmarks of growing up. Most of us have a tale to tell. Congratulations.
