Your newest addition to your family is growing up so fast! They are quite the handful, aren't they?

It can start out as something small. Maybe a minor toothache, or sore gums. The next thing you know, you're in the emergency room with a high fever, taking fluids through an IV, wondering what happened. Okay, so that's a slippery slope, but people do get sent to the emergency room because minor dental issues flare up into incredible problems. It's a real scenario that's played out more often than you think.
