Thad's lip

*Just as a warning; this picture might be a bit much for those with weak stomachs.  Just sayin'*

When Thad went to the dentist, the dentist noticed that he needed to have something done to his lip.  I don't know how to pronounce it let alone spell it so we'll just say his lip. :0)  It is the tissue that holds his lip down.  It was connected to the roof of his mouth and it was preventing his bone from closing and holding his front teeth apart and not allowing his eye teeth from coming down.  They had to laser it and cauterize it.  He told me that the only thing he felt was the shot to numb it up and nothing else.  Hopefully this will help with his speech and everything else and make it so he won't need braces later on.

Before

After.
