Black Licorice Dentistry

posted in: Ranch Kids | 0

Memorable firsts are important events in life to both parents and child. Whether it’s first steps or first car keys, it’s an exciting moment. We had such an event this week. Big W, 5 years old, lost his first tooth. His great grandparents had recently sent us a 5 lb. tub of black licorice. The boys have been having 4 pieces each day, savoring the black molasses goodness. Well the longer you have licorice, the chewier it gets. Such was the downfall of Big W’s loose baby tooth. One big bite with a jerk, the tooth went missing & was never to be seen again. Guess we are members of the tooth fairy fan club now. 😊
