They’re dead, Jim!* April 24, 2008
Posted by spacemom in : Kids , trackbackSo, Luna and I went to the dentist this morning. He looked and checked out her gums. Then he drew some pretty pictures.
The teeth are turning grey because the trauma to them ruptured the blood vessels in the tooth. There is no way to know if the tooth is REALLY dead, or just Mostly Dead( "to blathe"). So we need to check on her gums. Her gums? oh yes, my friends in the ether, if her gums start to show white spots, like a pimple, then the tooth HAS died and the pulp is infected. The infection will damage the incoming adult tooth. So then we would have to remove them.
Lovely. Just fricken lovely….
*Sorry Star Trek Fans
** Extra points to the person who finds the Princess Bride reference

Ugh! Sorry, Luna!
Have you seen http://youtube.com/watch?v=qJQwHwP0ojI ? A collection of various “He’s dead, Jim!” scenes…
C’mon mostly dead? That’s Miracle Max.
Oh no! Hoping they’re just Mostly Dead (love that movie!)
Mostly dead worked for Wesley, hope it works for Luna’s teeth too.
Oh crap. Here’s hoping for mostly dead. I guess?
I found the Princess Bride reference before you even mentioned To Blathe! Too funny!
Hopefully they just suffered some trama - my daughter fell on her two front teeth when she was just two and the same thing happend. Luckily they were ok though!
Princess Bride, best movie ever made. Mandy Patankin…makes my heart skip a beat. I think I’ve watched that movie 100 times. Sophomore year in college my roommates and I failed statistics due mostly in part to a slight addiction to that movie. Ok, really I got a D but it was a 4 credit D….sad.
