DS (8) with mild asd is having a baby tooth removed tomorrow at dentist, no gas and air, local injection i presume.
I had 2 big teeth removed aged 11 (with gas) and it was sooo painful. The gas made me drowsy and feeling sick all day, and the pain was terrible. I was spitting blood into a tissue for hours because it was too painful to swallow. Had next day off school.
DS is only having baby tooth removed so surely as its not so big and deep it won't be sooo bad, but I am worried. Will it bleed for long? How long till the numbness wears off? Will it be really painful or just like when one drops out? If anyone's been through this please tell me I'm fretting over nothing. (Gosh how we worry about our darlings!)
