Dr. John Montgomery:
He had two cavities that needed filling. He put up a fight, but I took care of it. Christine Collins:
And? Dr. John Montgomery:
Your son's upper front teeth were separated by a small tissue, a diastema. It made them sit about an eighth of an inch apart. The boy in that room has no such gap. Christine Collins:
Can that change with age? Because that's what they're going to say. Dr. John Montgomery:
In some cases, yes, it's possible. But the tissue between Walter's teeth prevents that from happening. You see, they can never come together without an operation to sever the tissue, and I can tell you right now that he has never had such an operation. Christine Collins:
Would you be willing to put that officially in writing? Dr. John Montgomery:
Pardon my language, but hell yes
