We have tried to get it out for the last several nights because her adult tooth is already coming in behind it. Let&#8217;s just say that she did not like the method that Ethan and I were using. The sessions usually ended with all of us frustrated, Alyssa crying and asking God to just take it out. I finally let it go and accepted that it would come out when it was time.
