The Oral surgery

Ollie was told by his dentist an orthodontist that he need some PERMANENT teeth removed to make room for his other teeth. 
I did all I could to avoid an oral surgery, but there was no other way.
Here he is before the surgery.....

This is him after extracting 4 permanent and 1 baby tooth. 
He was very very uncomfortable and heavily sedated.

It took him several hours before he could swallow.  He was very unhappy about this because he had to go into the surgery fasting and then had to wait several more hours before he was able to eat.  

Luckily, he was looking better today (the next day), and was happy that he got $10 from the tooth fairy for this 5 teeth.  He said that such big teeth should get a little more than the traditional $1 and our tooth fairy agreed!
