So much for the mental preparation(on the part of Renee), the senior doctor at the NDC told us that there's no need for the existing milk teeth to be extracted as they seem to be alittle shaky already. We had not felt the wobbliness when we touched the 2 teeth but with her tools, she showed us the little bit of shakiness and we had to believe her(she's the expert after all right?). We were worried about the new teeth being 'out of place' but she advised us to let nature takes its course and that the new teeth will grow in place once the baby teeth drop off and Renee sighed with relief when she heard this, :).
On the other hand, her tongue tie's another issue we need to ponder upon. Although she has not much problem with most of her pronounciations and she could even pronounce her 'th', the doctor still asked if we'd like to have it rectified but as it'd take about 1 week to recover from the minor surgery, Renee's reluctant and we would need to decide if to let her go through it via local or general anaethesia(heartpain leh...), so this matter is put on hold for the time being. However, it's a procedure which she'd have to go through and we're thinking that it would be better to have it done before she goes to primary school. Will think about this...
