Dental care for kids, Four baby teeth extractions.

My son has to have four of his baby teeth pulled. His adult teeth do not have room since the baby teeth will not come out. Well, I made an appointment for him to do this dental work. I would like to know if my son will be in much pain afterward.

He will be asleep while his teeth are pulled but will he be in pain when he wakes up? Should I only feed him soft foods? Any additional information you may have would be good.

Reply: Pain and very from person to person. If your son handles pain well, he will be able to deal better with having his teeth pulled.

Just have soft food on hand for a few days while he is healing, and expect some pain. The dentist will go over the aftercare for your son, so if you have additional questions, ask the dentist. Also, the dentist may even give you something for the pain if needed.
