My son who is five year old just had three baby teeth removed do to bad dental carries. He was very good while the dentist removed his teeth. However when the dentist was done with the extractions my son really just wanted to go home.

Now I know I should have taken more time to ask the dentist about his aftercare but I was only thinking of my son at the time. My son needs to go back to the dentist in a week to be fitted for space maintainers.

I guessing his gums will be heal by then. But since I forgot to ask about the aftercare I am not really sure. So besides trying to keep his mouth clean is there anything else I should be doing for him?
