Sam's Chompers: Update 1

We took Sam to a dentist here in Raleigh to have his teeth looked at. Sam would not sit still so the attempt to take x-rays failed. The dentist looked at his teeth and said he thinks Sam will need to have his teeth pulled. This would require surgery and an overnight stay in the hospital. The reason for surgery is they need him to sit perfectly still so when they remove the teeth they don't' damage his permanent ones. We have been referred to a pediatric dentist who will make the determination regarding next steps.
