Molars already?!?!

Last Wednesday I was at work when I got a call from Camille’s school. She had been crying since she got there and they could not get her to stop. Very unusual for her so I left work right away to pick her up. She had actually slept in that morning and so we didn’t have time for breakfast before school. She cried pretty hard on the way to school but I just thought it was because our routine had been thrown off that morning since she slept in. I knew she would eat at school as soon as she got there so I thought that would solve any problems. Once home I really could not get her to stop crying either. I gave her some Tylenol and that kind of helped but she was still on edge. She napped for a bit but woke up screaming again. Finally I was worried and left her in her bed screaming to call the dr. They said it sounded like an ear infection and made an appointment for me. I really didn’t think it was an ear infection so I checked her over and found a big molar half out far back in her mouth. Seemed really weird to me. She has her eight front teeth but that’s it. I know they can get teeth out of order but it just looked like it was in a weird spot. So I kept the dr. appointment. Either it was her ears or I wanted the dr to look at the tooth. Everything checked out so it had to have been the tooth. I should have known, she was grinding her teeth last week and she only does that right before a tooth pops out. I guess she just wanted a day with mommy!!
