换牙记

换牙记
Yesterday, my son suddenly came back with a small tooth and said to me, "Mom, my tooth fell out." I was a bit surprised. It seemed that the last time he lost a tooth was over a year ago, and I had almost forgotten that he still had teeth to change.

I then asked him, "When did it fall out?" He told me that it fell out in the car on the way home from school. A week ago, he had already told me, "Mom, my tooth is loose. It seems like I'm going to change my tooth." I checked the looseness and found that there was no new tooth growing out from the side near this tooth. So there was no need to rush to pull it out immediately, and there was no need to go to the hospital either. Then I said to him, "It's okay. Let it wiggle. In a few days, it will get looser and fall out by itself." He replied, "Okay."

We had gone to the hospital to get his teeth pulled out with anesthesia two or three times before. Those two or three times were because the new teeth had already grown out a little from the side gum, while the old teeth were still firmly in place, not moving at all. This was a bit worrying. How can I describe the situation of those teeth? It was a bit like double - row shark teeth. At that time, after observing for a few days, we found that the new teeth were growing more and more, while the old teeth didn't move at all. So we took him to the hospital to get the teeth pulled out with anesthesia.

I always remember that he was still very young at that time, around five years old. When getting the anesthesia for tooth extraction, he was extremely scared. Before the doctor's anesthesia needle even touched the flesh, his eyes were already filled with tears, and he started crying loudly. Later, we comforted him for a long time, and then he agreed to let the doctor give the anesthesia. In fact, the doctor was very fast. Less than half a minute after the anesthesia, the tooth was pulled out with a pair of pliers. But I knew that although there was anesthesia, it probably still hurt a bit.

After that, he was particularly afraid of going to the hospital for tooth extraction. Every time he found that the new teeth didn't push out and the old teeth were loose, he would feel relieved and say, "Ah, finally I don't have to go to the hospital. I can just wait for it to fall out by itself." I listened beside him and secretly laughed.

Yesterday, as soon as he came back, he rummaged through boxes and chests. He took the tooth that had fallen out and put it into a small wooden box for collecting teeth that he bought in kindergarten before. The small wooden box was in the shape of a baby and was very cute.

There were already many teeth in that box. Excluding the three teeth that were directly thrown into the trash can by the doctor when we went to the hospital for tooth extraction, there were still several teeth that were not collected. Basically, for all the teeth that fell out at home or at school, he would wrap them in a small piece of toilet paper and bring them home, and put them into the box as if they were precious treasures.

Looking at the way he carefully put his tooth into the box, I found it very funny. This little kid is really so interesting!

昨天，儿子突然拿回来一颗小牙齿，跟我说：“妈妈，我牙齿掉了。”我有点惊讶，记忆中他上一次掉牙齿好像是一年多以前了，我都快忘记他还有牙齿要换这件事情。

我便问他：“你是什么时候掉的？”他告诉我，是放学路上在车子里面掉的。一个星期之前，他就跟我说：“妈妈，我的牙齿松了，好像要换牙齿了。”我看了看松的情况，发现这颗牙齿附近没有新的牙齿从侧牙长出来，所以也不着急一定要马上把它拔掉，也不用去医院。于是我对他说：“没事，等它晃一晃，过几天越来越松，自己就可以掉了。”他回答道：“好吧。”

我们之前有两三次是特地去医院打麻药把牙齿拔掉的。那两三次是因为新牙从侧边肉床已经长出来一小截了，然而老牙齿还牢牢地长在上面，纹丝不动。这就让人有点着急。怎么形容那个牙齿的情况呢？就有点像双排的鲨鱼牙齿。当时观察了几天，发现新牙齿越长越多，老牙齿却一点动静都没有，所以就带他去医院打麻药拔牙。

我总记得那个时候他还小，5岁多左右的样子。打麻药拔牙的时候，他吓得不得了。医生打麻药的针还没有戳到肉里去，他就开始眼泪在眼睛里打转，哇哇大哭起来。后来我们好一番安慰，他才接受医生打麻药。其实医生的速度还是很快的，打麻药过后还不到半分钟，一下子就用一个钳子把牙齿给拔掉了。不过我知道，虽然打了麻药，估计还是有些疼的。

从那之后，他就特别害怕去医院拔牙。每次发现新牙齿没有顶到外面去，老牙齿松动了，他便自己会放下心来，说道：“哎，终于不用去医院了，可以慢慢等它自己掉了。”我在旁边听着，偷偷地笑。

昨天，他一回来就翻箱倒柜，拿着自己掉的那颗牙齿，放进以前幼儿园买的一个收集牙齿的小木头盒子里。小木头盒子是一个婴儿的形状，非常可爱。

那个盒子里面已经有很多颗牙齿了。除去之前去医院拔牙，直接被医生丢进垃圾桶的那三颗牙齿，还有几颗牙齿没有收集到。其他基本上只要是在家里或者在学校里掉的牙齿，他都自己用一个小卫生纸包起来，然后带回家，像数家珍一样放到盒子里。

看着他小心翼翼把自己牙齿放进去的样子，我感觉很好笑。这小朋友真的是很有意思啊！
