DS is 11.
Saw orthodontist yesterday who recommended DS get a molar extracted so that his canine can move down into place (I can see there's no room for the canine otherwise, I believe orthodontist that it will cause more harm if not allowed to move down by removing a tooth).
I still hate the idea of DS getting a healthy tooth removed. Anyone BTDT and want to cheer me up? It seems likely that DS will have 4 teeth eventually (like his dad and MIL). Am still feeling a bit :( about it, though!
